      I think they have been intentionally making a bad offer so the union strikes and thus production is cut while they blame it on the union to stockholders.

        That’s the play but it is has expiration date, hopefully strikers will out last these brain dead lEaDERShIP

          They just make a reasonable offer then. Most strikers cannot afford to last much longer - the union pays less than minimum wage for carrying signs (I haven’t checked this strike, but that is typical)

            I’m not sure what this particular contract looks like but UAW is huge. Likely with a lot of money in their strike fund. I’d suspect they’re getting something like 60+% of whatever their pay was.
