They are a proftable company not one posting losses
Sacrifice to save a company should be shared.

In 2002 He was recognized as a Michigan person of the year. A little from that article

To some, it was an aging industrial wreck faced with extinction. But Richard E. Dauch envisioned an urban jewel. And, in a classic feat of entrepreneurship, he led a team in 1994 that wagered more than $1 billion that a dingy, unprofitable General Motors Corp. axle factory could be transformed into a vibrant manufacturing complex.

So how much money did those $70.00 an hour employees wager? You don't put your own money up and not hope to make big on it. He deserves the raise.
He is also running more than one plant. Its a global operation.In addition to locations in the United States (Michigan, New York, Ohio and Indiana), AAM also has offices or facilities in Brazil, China, Germany, India, Japan,Luxembourg, Mexico, Poland, South Korea, Thailand and the United Kingdom(England and Scotland)
All he is asking is that the union accepts the same wage in his factories that they do in his competitors. Vice 3x higher than the going wage.
They have already signed union agreements with their workers in Mexico and the UK.
Crap, My lawyer only charges me $85.00 an hour. Maybe both of us should have got a job as a $70.00 an hour forklift operator at this plant.
Has the union waived the workers dues, since they are living on strike pay?
After a certain time on Workmans Comp disability, you do lay people off. In Fl its either 1 yr or when the WC Board says they can no longer do the job, or a job with your company. Why would you want to keep someone disabled, and not working on your rolls?
