Back when Ford first started a 6-day, 70-100 hour work week was typical. Old Henry not only gave his factory workers a big pay increase but he cut their work week down to 5 days and 40 hours.

Funny you mention that as I have yet to see a single strike related video yet. It’s all scantly dressed girls, custom cars and idiots doing stupid hurtful things. I suppose it’s focused on what I normally view.

No one has ever claimed the UAW represents the smartest apples in the barrel. They’ve always been knuckleheads who lap up the class envy rhetoric like the good little democrat cretins they are.

I bet Texas would send a couple busloads of "immigrants" that way. Get a Spanish speaker to train them up; back online in a week.
