      Past performance? What about the past concessions UAM made to keep the doors open for the manufacturers during the great recession? Those companies promised to return them but never did?

        Sure, they may have made those promises but the bottom line is the botton line. They can’t just summon cash. Sure, cut the CEO pay and pay them more, but the future is a few more years than the pandemic lasted.

          The bottom line is this workers made the company record money. Bottom line is the CEOs, executives, and stake holders have themselves 40% raises so why not the workers? And those concessions by the workers were not made during the pandemic. They were made during the 2008 great recession. The auto makers are not going to go broke because the workers demands. That’s just a lie.

            “So why not the workers?” Re: a 40% raise. Sure, I agree in principle, and I really wish the CEOs didn’t get that raise. It was selfish and stupid for that to happen. I just don’t know if the financials can handle a 40% raise for everyone. The economy and auto demand might be different next year.
