Comment on UAW will not expand strikes at Detroit automakers after last-minute GM proposal

• Sunforged@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  $825,000,000 in the current strike fund. 400,000 current active members. I’m not sure what the contract length is so let’s say 4 years, that’s a minimun.

  825,000,000÷4÷12÷400,000= 42.96 per month to rebuild the fund for the next contract.

  That is not to mention the current fight is an existential one for the union. As EV funding coming from the state has all gone to none union shops, it has hurt the unions strength. Part of this current fight is to demand expansion of the union to EV shops, growing that member number and preventing the union from becoming irrelevant.

    Are you providing information from actual sources, or just speculating from your own calculations?

      You asked for the math. I provided you the numbers, if you don’t trust me go check.

        I was asking for information that could be sourced. Math cannot tell you which decisions someone else has made or which practices have been adopted.
