Looks like there is a UAW/Ford agreement awaiting ratification… GM and Stelantis will surely follow with the same blueprint

32 hour work week is way overdo.

It makes zero sense that the work week is the same now as it was before the invention of the personal computer, when we were far less efficient.

Worker productivity is up 100% since 1990, while inflation adjusted wages are up 0%.

Executive compensation is up massively. Somehow, the American workforce allowed executives to capture the entirety of the gains brought to us by the personal computer, while sharing 0 of it with the workforce.

It would be like if we suddenly got Jetson's style personal robot butlers, and we used them to work 50 hours a week for the same salary, since we no longer have household chores. We don't want personal robot butlers so we can work more, we want them so we can have more free time. The same should have been true of computers, but all we got out of that was massive gains in executive compensation. What a waste.

This is a fantastic post.

Ford pulled their 2023 forecast due to predicted significant labor costs.
