Will The UAW Ultimately Benefit More From Trump Than Clinton?

Puleeaasse! We'll never know because Mrs Clinton is now just an angry grandmother but she would have increased problems for American business. Remember the most qualified person ever to run for the Presidency said, "Corporations and Businesses don't creat jobs"

Trump is a businessman and knows what it takes to grow a business and how "the system" gets in the way of progress. His administration will unleash American business by reducing taxes and regulations. Auto companies should likely see a reduction in the 52mpg requirements and the excessive EPA rules & regs. He'll also ensure that fair trade isn't just a highway into America without open markets elsewhere. The Automotive Employees that happen to be union members will see their lives improve in the next 4 years, no question.

Republicans and business leaders are typically anti-union, so I think it will be a mixed bag that will balance out pros and cons. There might be fewer regulations but that may include regulations that require union labor as well.

Being friendly to business keeps jobs strong and that helps workers. The Democrats are hell bent on destroying jobs in America that are good jobs. The Liberal ass kicking that this election was warms my working-class heart.

@xjug1987a: Your comment should read like this: "Trump is a con man and knows what it takes to default on multiple businesses and how to game "the system" if it gets in his way." He was outed by Warren Buffett, and knowing his place, could not muster a response.

Trump constantly brags about his wealth and success but here in Silicon Valley, his net worth is like a piggy bank compared to the local tech titans who make real impact to people's lives and know how to do good with their fortunes. Trump will treat the US Presidency like one of his businesses, and when things go south, he will default on it just like he did with his failed businesses.

Before you bring up the Clintons - yes they are birds of the same feather even if they sing to different tunes. I have no sympathy for HRC, but Trump is the outright fraud with a track record.

"Corporations and Businesses don't creat jobs" - absolutely a correct statement. Economics 101 - demand creates jobs. If there is no demand for some product there will be no job making said unwanted product.

Val I wrote what I wrote, which is all true. Your comments are just stupid as is your perspective. After 8 insane years the adults are taking over. I'll give you this, demand does create, but companies and business satisfy demand. Mrs Clinton is a fool to say business's dont creat jobs she's also a pathetic liar like the degenerate she is married too (for how much longer we can only wonder). The nation and the world are in a much better place now that they're gone and BO will soon be erased.

Ever stayed at a 'Union' Trump hotel?

No, because they do not exist.

The Democrats don't car a lick about union workers. They care ONLY about the money the unions collect in dues that can then be put into the "political action" subterfuge.

Trump cares about the workers. It would NOT surprise me if Trump dramatically improves the working conditions of UAW workers in his first four years and then after reelection that he makes the USA a right-to-work nation.

Workers have no say in their unions. The UAW is 100% in bed with the Democrats and yet, their membership is not universally Democrat. In fact, their ranks are nearly evenly split between both parties.

Trump will kiss up to get the UAW to help him with re-election and in 2020, he will declare war on unions.

I'm OK with unions but they must be banned from all forms of political action and workers must have the right to pull their dues if they don't agree with their representation.

Union dues are taxation without representation.

"Trump cares about the workers" ?? What the f**k are you smoking ? your homegrown stuff or from south of the border ?

I know you idolize Trump, but it's about time you get your nose out of his ass. It really stinks.

Trump is a known con man with a track record few true businessmen would envy. All his talk about the first 100 days sound good to the "working man's heart" until they find no money to support both tax cuts for the rich and spending to enrich the corporations. Well, Trump has that figured out too. He will borrow trillions of dollars from China and tell the American people to tell their children to default on it when China comes to collect. He's done it many times before, what's the difference now ?

I agree and while we are at it… corporations are not people and should not be able to donate to political campaigns either. Individuals in the corporation or Union can each contribute...

Hey Val, the SCOTUS said Corporations are people. They also said there is a "right" to abortion and a "right" to homosexual marriage "in the constitution". I don't see the former 2 but I do see the previous 1. If unions can launder millions for DemoCraps why can't Corporations give money? You're a pathetic hypocrite. Oh and your unqualified, zero achievement, pathetic liar of a candidate went down in flames and blames everyone else... such a coward just like the degenerate she's married to.

@xjug1987a - it seems you did not notice, I said I agree with Matt, get union money out of politics and get corporate money out of politics. It should only be individual US citizens who are allowed contribute IMHO. Also you seem so angry, chill, you won, congrats, enjoy.

Well maybe not scientists… generally Republicans are anti science or at least have a very strange way of determining what science they believe in. Vetted science with peer reviewed works or… science that agrees with my ideology. Earth is 6000 years old, there is no man made climate effect etc…

Val we're not "anti-science" but "climate change" is model driven only there is no proof. Just because "actors" talk about it does'nt make it true. Ted Danson said in 1988 that we only had 10 years to save the oceans! The Scientific Method cannot be replicated... its junk science... just like all your comments..

Even more unfortunate. I actually do understand a good part of the science having been a weather man for 5 years. I understand the scientific method as well and climate scientist do follow the same method as scientists in every other field. When you say it is junk science it literally means this is the largest conspiracy ever by orders of magnitude that defy the imagination. Every country is involved, well over 95% of the climate scientists are involved, our own pentagon is involved...the 1000s of studies are all doctored/fake and on and on...just amazing how good at fooling everyone they are...

Finally we Americans get a chance to do the job that had been stolen from us. I'm looking forward to see us pick melons in 90 degrees weather, mowe the lawns in gated community and then get those gates closed behind us as we leave those neighborhood, take care and walk those beautiful polo-clad kids to schools to see them grow up so that they can vote to kick us out of this country, work for those small business owners who verify our work eligibility so thoroughly, and help out those old farmers whose own children have moved to the city and let their parents work with those f...g rapists and murderers. Yeah baybee, let's make us great again.

Could see some serious inflation once it takes $20/hr to hire farm workers or lawn care….

nguyenvuminh, that's why we have immigrants to do the dirty work for us. no wait, we need those jobs that we don't want to do. But we don't want those people that will actually do those jobs. This is getting confusing, it's all Obama's fault. So what are we talking about again? Is this a car site?

Dang that Obama, screwed up this site…. so glad he is out in January!!!

"...Being friendly to business keeps jobs strong and that helps workers..." that's what Republicans have stood by for the longest of time. But aren't those Republican-friendly businesses making a conscious decision to move their operations (manufacturing, IT and customer support, and component supply chain) abroad ?!?! Oh, you meant to say they move their operations abroad because of the trade deals we had signed. But ... but ... but ...weren't those trade deals fully endorsed and lobbied by the chambers of commerces and Corp America that are so closely aligned with the Republican party/congress/presidency? Now I'm confused.

I know I know, our beloved free-market abiding companies HAVE TO MOVE their operations abroad, because a 12% - 15% profit margin isn't enough. Not only is it not enough to be making 15%+ margin, that margin has to increase on a Yr on Yr or Qrtr on Qrtr basis so guess what uncle Buck, say adios to your job. And for that lovely wedgy, you can thank the business friendly Republican party (and yes, some Democrats as well).

The good news is that with Trump in power and a Republican Congress to support him he'll be able to fully execute his plans and then we can all sit back and see how well it works.
