Sounds like the VP understands that this is going to cost them a large amount. Also sounds like he isn't 100% on board with it, but time and actions will tell.
I wouldn't be either, There is no way they are going to be able to replace 5,000 auto workers easily. Anyone who has ever taking their car to a mechanic will know what I mean.
The corpus would rather cut off its arm than provide it with enough bloodflow to keep it healthy.
Right because there’s no benefit to having the parts of your company be healthy
Wait 'til you see my IAM brothers making airplanes.
Do you think all auto workers are mechanics? I'm all for the UAW fighting for their rights but it's not like these positions are highly skilled. Are you aware of the whole premise of the production line and workers each only having 1 job to do for weeks or even months before moving to the next rotation?
It will take time to train 5,000 workers sure, but it's training that is done in a matter of a few days or less and they're constantly changing roles on the line and learning new things anyway. The training for these positions is already highly streamlined and simple.
