If they do not have a local contract, what have GM and UAW been following since the National Contract was Okay'd at this plant?

Buying jeans for $12.99 and seeing that same neighbor who now works at walmart is practically starving.

Is walmart's stock price worth the death of a nation?

Yes it is. J/k. I'm proud to say I've done my part. I've only shopped at Walmart ONCE in my life and I purchased 2 folding chairs. Only went there because I knew I could find them there and I was out of town so I didn't know the area's other stores.

What contract has this factory been operating under? Under the old contract? The new national contract?

If its the old contract, why are they striking to change it? Seems to me they should want the old the one in place as long as possible if any change will be bad.

It is amazing how little most of you actually know about GM and the UAW. Most that I read in here is bashing. Trouble is, the bashers are ignorant of the facts.
I did my 30 yrs at 5 GM plants and think I have a pretty good understanding of how things work concerning GM/UAW.
The bashers strike me as McDonalds bottom level "managers". Just enough education to express themself, but with zero knowledge of what they speak of.

Fact is those bottom level managers that do not work at a UAW plant see things differently. When the average person wants more money, or wants to avoid a pay cut, they search out another job. When the average person sees someone else, who in their opinion may make to much money may have a problem with them not showing up to work and everything being A OK when they come back x days later.

Just like how a UAW worker may possibly think its unfair for a white collar guy in GM to make more money, people outside of the UAW doing similar work or maybe more work are going to think its unfair that UAW workers can just walk off the job and still have said job. Its going to happen both ways.

Lastly, this is the internet, people are going to express themselves how they see fit, knowledgeable or not. You should get used to it.
