I dont support unions that exist to boost worker wages or retain current employee's jobs.
And I dont think they should leverage one purpose to prop up the other.
If you read a bunch of what's going on regarding this, it seems a good deal has to do with being concerned over job security as companies move away from combustion engines to more simpler electric drivetrains. A lot of people who depend on the more parts and higher failure rate and complexity of combustion engine'd vehicles over electrical are worried they'll be looking for different jobs as those vehicles are phased out. Which sucks for them, but it's not like it's not going to happen. Grasping at the past wont do any better at preparing them for dealing with a world that doesn't need that many mechanics, auto workers etc.

very true.if the union was really protecting the workers they would be trying to get them an education in another field instead of a few more dollars an hour.
