What life in America could be again WITHOUT the UAW and Unions! FORD PLANT CAMACARI

This video shows how great the Ford plants in South America work because the company can do what is right rather than what the unions demand. Don't get me wrong, there was a time and place for Unions when the American workers needed protection. But all unions have done now is picket their way out of jobs and hurt America. With labor laws, and employee protection, the need for the union is gone. Please watch this video and see what we could have again if union greed was gone.

I think the pic of the slums at the beginning of the video, says it all. What they don't tell you is what these workers are being paid, what there living conditions and benefits are, and what happens to them if they speak out. This is what is called a propaganda film. It is a well produced lie, and a distortion of reality.

hmmm yea i guess we could get rid of labor unions to get more jobs back to the US .... i mean whats so bad about not making shit for wages and living in little huts and not having any retirement right>?

@ars62287 i know this is old and you are right most Americans are not unionized. if you look at the economy of our country when more Americans were unionized we as a whole were doing much better than now.

A good reason NOT to buy Ford.

@DAGDAsRevenge An idea of an independent America is a fascinating one. However, our economy is dependent on oil, and as the Democrats continue to bar domestic production and laid off 50,000 American workers for "environmental" reasons, the Republicans are always strengthening or relations with foreign producers. All the while our president ensures us China's growth is a positive thing. Foreign oil owns officials in both parties. We'd probably agree on more then you realize.

@DAGDAsRevenge Reagan was a joke. I would not advocate ending unions, at least not private sector unions. There needs to be more public transparency into how dealings with elected officials takes place, on both ends. A greedy union can finish a company and destroy/outsource jobs just as easy as a greedy company executive. I do care about America, that's why I don't want to see it ended by people siding with the "worker" on blind rhetoric, most American workers aren't unionized btw...

[ars62287]

@DAGDAsRevenge Look man, I've worked with unions, both private and public sec, people need to be fairly compensated, but when unions like the UAW demand $65/hr for low skill labor this causes a giant gap in economic wages, resulting in outsourcing/massive lay-offs, and inefficiencies for the company to compete... which in return, results into everyone being fucked. Collective bargaining is fine to an extent, otherwise greed, whether corporate or union ends it all...

[ars62287]

@DAGDAsRevenge You're right that unions helped to bring about these rights we all enjoy today. The problem lies with unions that lobby to corrupt officials and tilt the legislation too far in their direction. Or in the case of public sector (Government) unions who blatantly abuse and misuse collective bargaining with officials they help to elect to further the wealth gap between themselves and the more common, lower-paid/over-taxed American worker who endures the layoffs due to their greed.

[ars62287]

@DAGDAsRevenge Less expensive labor results in lower cost of end product. Capitalism has a way of balancing its self out. Laws protecting worker safety and minimum wage laws protect workers rights. When these labor unions force workers to join and pay dues, the funds are used in near and often illegal deals with corrupt officials to help get them elected with lies to the public, in return the officials help to pass union friendly laws that destroy profitable business and hurt the economy.

this video seems like propaganda, So if your saying we cut auto workers pay down to minimum wage and have the taxpayers pay for their health care since they wont be able to do it themselves Ford will shut down their plants where they pay workers 50 cents to a dollar an hour and pay Americans 7.25? It seems unions had nothing to do with shipping jobs overseas. If I were ford I would have done it anyways 7.25 and 15.00 is the same thing when compared to 1 dollar an hour, too much.

[dollgonegood]

Yes we could have bigger plants if we would work for 4.00 an hour. humm and no health care or retirement the factories could be so much bigger.
