I’m 100% with you and the workers on everything but a pension. Unless the UAW’s plan has a killer multiplier, fighting for a huge fixed contribution first (and match second) is the way to go.
I’m especially hopefully they get their ask for a shorter work week. IMO, that could set a massive precedent across the manufacturing and transportation sectors.
I've been telling all my friends - "If they get a shorter week, that means it will be easier for everyone to get a shorter week!" Auto manufacturing was the first industry to get a 5-day workweek, so it could be the first to get a 4-day workweek!
Wow, I love it when people actually do the math! (not my strength). Since we live in upside down world, I vote we invert the top-tier wage triangle, and let the CEOs live off the wages and 401k (with generous performance review bonuses, and split all the profits among the workers. Haha.
I'm a fan of a very simplistic approach. We could make it a law that CEOs, execs, and others could only earn 1.5x what the median worker does. Not only would it lower their paychecks, but it would incentivize them to raise the wages so they can make more. It's a win-win!
