  • Looks like a capital strike is coming.. This is just the informational picket stage.

  • As the big three have facilities in China well all of the world's quality products from the big three will always come from Chinese facilities,

  • Truck production is in the US mostly Arlingron, Texas well at least most of GM's truck production is here in the USA mostly from Texas.

  • yea well I guess you now know theres a downside to all those union demands

  • Good video, well done! Check out my Channel too, I give a salute to Canadian auto workers and more, Thx.

  • Yes, but the CAW has also and hard to undermine the financial interest of this country by demanding very unreasonable wages and benefits and blocking effeciency gains which helped contribute to the hardships of the big 3. Interesting how everything the CAW touches turns to stone.....

  • Yeah your probably right because that's what the Detroit three's down fall was.Because they built such a great product,had real productive workers and the management was world class the legacy costs is what caused the down fall.Your a fucking genius!

  • Toyota and Honda are well ran companies so when it comes time to start paying legacy costs they will be fine.The CAW can go fuck themselves along with GM and Chrysler they caused thier own problems.

  • Are Toyota and Honda paying legacy costs here in North America?? You can bet your ass that when start paying legacy costs they'll be asking for money too. Great comment though dumbass.

  • dont get me wrong, i respect labourers. the ones that supprt their families on 12 bucks an hour deserve more money and would be thrilled to make 17 an hour. and then there is the autoworker who probably doesnt work as hard and complain while they bring home 34 bucks an hour.
