Subscribers can get a look at the fuzzy math but it's basically a sign that this organized labor stalemate has a very real economic impact throughout the region. Read more:
Strike at GM's Fairfax plant costs KC economy $20 million weekly - Kansas City Business Journal
The area economy is losing $20.4 million every week the strike continues at General Motors Co.'s Fairfax Assembly Plant, according to estimates by the Center for Automotive Research. That's because the Kansas City, Kan., plant employs 2,177 people and, for every one of those jobs, another six is supported.
Total bullshit statistic.

ReplyDeleteDemocrat greedy UAW slobs wrecking the economy while looking to scam yet more $$ on top of their 6-figure income they get --for bolting on bumpers.
True Americans NEVER buy union.
^^^Please expand your worldview. This strike is about the future of the American auto industry. Electric cars are the future and USA automakers will need to make drastic changes to keep up with their European counterparts. With that said, electric cars require less parts and less people to make them. The Union is fighting to save jobs and wages and the automakers are fighting to stay competitive. Either the unions makes concessions and agree to cut the workforce in half, lower wages and close plants or the coming of the electric car will.
ReplyDelete$90k a year and still cant make a truck that isn't a rust bucket in 10 years! Fuck those greedy peeps. Buy a made in USA non union toyota. Where some of the money goes into a quality vehicle.
ReplyDelete$20 million?! Probably more! Lately, there's lots more empty bar stools, way fewer casino patrons, many late support payments, and plenty teens loaning their japcars to parents (or, step-parents), so mom's Yukon and dad's Z71 aren't using too much gas. That barely $300/week strike pay ain't much for living the American Dream.
