    UAW Drops Plan To Organize A Foreign Automaker Plant

    The UAW has dropped their plans to organize a foreign automaker plant. Previously, the UAW vowed to organize one foreign auto manufacturer on U.S. soil by year’s end.

    "We're shifting our strategy a little bit. We are not going to announce a target at all. We are not going to create a fight," said UAW President Bob King.

    King's announcement comes a few days after UAW spokeswoman Michele Martin said the union wouldn't meet it's goal to unionize a foreign plant by year’s end.

    Organizing one foreign automaker plant has been a goal of King since becoming the UAW's president back in July 2010. However, the goal has turned out to be an uphill, with the majority of foreign automakers declining to hear the UAW.

    This will get moved to politics if I say much more, but I have been a non union blue collar worker for about eleventy billion years, and while I do support police and fire Unions I don't have any real love whatsoever for the UAW.

    One of my many reasons for liking the GTI a little bit better than the Camaro for my next car is that it isn't built by UAW labor.

    That wouldn't sway me and the Chevy wouldn't breakdown so much. But as long as they are willing to dump cash on these elections I hope GM & CryCo buy back shares with the profits sooner than later.

      Well, they were trying to be distinctive instead of the usual cheap car generic cluster.  And it was targeting young drivers.

      I know.  But, man, Chevy could have put on some kind of a real dashboard instead of something that looks like a kid would have wanted from Toys 'r' Us.

      Very interesting read, considering that  in 2024 the average price per kW was $66.50 or in the case of a Tesla Y with a 60 kWh battery pack, $3,990 base cost to Tesla or in the case of my Kia EV9 with it's 100 kWh battery pack, $6,650 dollars cost. Today, the base cost due to deflated battery material has fallen to a low of $45 per kW or for Tesla, a battery cost of $2,700 or in the EV9 $4,500 for the battery cost. These make huge decreases in EV costs when the price of the most expensive component drops so fast. Just for basic understanding of a full size GM EV Pickup which has a 210 kWh battery pack, last year $13,965 and now in 2025 $9,450 cost on the battery pack. https://www.actumoteur.fr/en/electric-vehicle-battery-prices-just-crashed-harder-than-anyone-predicted-27490.html

      Same here in Washington, there is a ton of Summer projects with major road detours and sections that are totally closed during the night, traffic is a snail pace and especially this week with World Cup here, just best to not go anywhere.
