  4. UAW Strikes Built the American Middle Class

    Today’s strikers are seeking to renew the broadly shared prosperity that earlier UAW work stoppages created.

    IN 1950, THE UAW, WITH REUTHER AS ITS PRESIDENT (he was elected by the union just a few months after the 1946 strike ended), signed a contract with GM that not only raised wages substantially, but included a host of innovative provisions.

    GM agreed to provide workers with yearly #COLA cost-of-living adjustments, with another yearly adjustment that increased their pay by the same percentage that the nation’s #productivity had increased during the year.

    Workers also received #health #insurance and defined-benefit #pensions.

    In subsequent contracts over the following decade, GM agreed to assume all health care costs by eliminating worker co-payments, and to provide workers with what Reuther termed a #guaranteed #annual #income, by agreeing to top off workers’ unemployment insurance benefits during periods when plants were closed to install new machinery, so that their out-of-work income matched their on-the-job income. (In recent decades, as the domestic auto industry and the union movement have both been in decline, most of these contractual features have been eliminated.)

    What made these mid-century contracts so fundamentally important was that they weren’t limited to General Motors.

    Once one of the Big Three had agreed to these provisions, the UAW got the other two to follow suit. They were largely matched by contracts won by the Steelworkers, the Electrical Workers, the Machinists, and other manufacturing unions, which was significant, because in the mid-20th century unionized manufacturers employed roughly five times the share of American workers that they do today

  5. @partridge Yes, I hate it every bit as much as you do. All of the associated fees you have to pay simply to wait for a decision as to whether or not the #landlord will accept you just reinforces my opinion that #housing should be #universal and #guaranteed. Nobody who is #homeless and wants a home, should be made to go without.

    i don't have a straight forward one:

    it has to be backed up by #thoughtful #transparent #systems

    can be #crowd #sourced (#guaranteed and #robust #education system for the crowd to be able to weigh in maybe)

    subject matter experts (#sme) and #generalized jack of all trades kinda #experts acting as additional #layers of #checks and #balances (should be not #beholden to special interest groups, #sig)
