Anyone else have the “Shake Hands With Danger” song playing in their heads? For those unaware of this masterpierce, it’s from a 1980′s industrial safety training video, and it’s main character is named ‘Three Finger Joe.’ I’m just imagining some farmer trying to fix his combine in 2023, saying “I don’t know why it won’t work, it’s only 2 years old,” and then they open up the engine and the dusty hand bones of a middle manager fall out. Things are going great over there! It’s day 1 and salary workers are joking about forming their own union, this is great stuff. November 3 2021The strike is still going. After the accident in the factory went viral, Deere is no longer releasing any information on accidents or near misses and cites it as confidential information. One striker was killed on the picket line when a car hit him at an intersection with blown out streetlights that the town, county and state all say was not their problem. He was 56 years old. As of this afternoon, Deere walked away from the table after UAW voted down their second offer. Part of the offer was a $8,500 sign on bonus. Deere is projected to make 5.6-5.8 billion dollars in profit this year. Strikers are getting egged by passing cars. Deere operates on a standard as need supply plan, which means there are effectively no replacement parts for tractors. If a combine goes down, a farmer likely can’t fix it and crops are lost. This will further disrupt food production and distribution as we go into 2022. Deere does this because it’s expensive to house a stockpile of equipment parts.GoFundMe for Richard Rich memorial fundGoFundMe for the UAW strikers fund -- source link
