Unions, and particularly the UAW ought to be the biggest Trump supporters around.
The temp issue that seems to be holding up the negotiations could easily be rectified in a south looking economy.
General Motors would/could plan a shrinkage, but for the Trump economy which promises more reward no matter which way the negotiations turn. The economy is booming and set for an even greater long term growth cycle. Partly due to more permissive regulatory climate, and a favorable correction of trade rule imbalance. The US of A is no longer subsidizing the world’s oppressive government in the same way, and our balance sheet is strong.
The unions right now have an upper hand. Not because of successes of liberal/left policies, but because of the success of Trump, and pro growth, which puts a strain on the available work force. In other words when everyone is working, no successful business can take existing employees for granted. This is supply and demand in action.
For labor, this is nothing short of utopia. From a bargaining perspective who is more advantaged in a strong economy that has historically low unemployment?
It needs to be said that Donald Trump has been a friend to labor. How better than by simply providing an environment where they can legitimately exercise a lesson in ‘value?’

The UAW still has a stranglehold on this message to Autoworkers.
Even though some members are slowly waking up to the benefits of Pres. Trump (I liked "reminding" them that the UAW had absolutely NOTHING to do with that little bump in pay back everyone got in early '18), they still overwhelming parrot the TDS message of "Orange Man Bad" because of that bias.
Strangely, even this hasn't shaken that stranglehold.
Yep, and it will never change, KG. The composition of organized labor has never been that of the sharpest knives in the drawer, if you recall.
The Goonions are mere shakedown artists. They shake the workers down for dues, and protect lousy workers that give the rest a bad name. Then the shake down the company with strikes...you wouldn’t wanna have nuffin bad happen to your company.
