FILE - In this April 9, 2019, wheels are attach as workers assemble a tractor at John Deere's Waterloo, Iowa assembly plant. The vast majority of United Auto Workers union members rejected a contract offer from Deere & Co. Sunday, Oct. 10, 2021 that would have delivered at least 5% raises to the workers who make John Deere tractors and other equipment.
MOLINE, Ill. — More than 10,000 Deere & Co. workers went on strike Thursday at midnight after “the company failed to present an agreement that met our members’ demands and needs,” The United Auto Workers union said in statement. UAW President Ray Curry, said “The almost one million UAW retirees and active members who stand in solidarity with the striking UAW members at John Deere.”
Field day for scabs. In a global world with essentially infinite desperate poverty-stricken workers from every country, unions don't work so well anymore.
Cool. Good for them.
Be ready to look for new jobs. In a world wide market there are always cheaper options. All you have to do is look at aircraft manufacturing. Hello mexicalli good bye America. You screwed the pooch on this one. Do you even realize how much competition is out there, obviously not.
Most people would be thrilled with a 5 or 6% or any % raise. The contract would have raised pay $12,000 (average pay now is $60,000) over 6 years plus a retirement bonus of $50,000 and other incentives. Even the Union backed the contract
This is why Unions suck. The public suffers while union bosses get richer.
YES! 👏🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

The UAW fails to note that the strike only happened after workers rejected by 90 percent a contract backed by the UAW. This is a rank-and-file rebellion against the corrupt union apparatus. Live updates at the WSWS:
