$120 an hour, 40% raise, 32 hours a week! U.S. Supports Auto Workers Strike Musk says giants will go bankrupt

On September 27, for the 150,000 American auto workers, it is obvious that there is no way to return to work without a raise, and the US president also supports such an approach.

The U.S. president earlier on Tuesday expressed support for a 40 percent pay rise by the United Auto Workers. In a rare move, the union launched strikes against Detroit's three major automakers at the same time.

Musk responded: "They asked for a 40% raise and a 32-hour work week. This would certainly drive GM, Ford, and Chrysler into the fast lane of bankruptcy. ”

Musk also commented: "Then it will make people unable to afford cars, resulting in a significant drop in sales and eventually bankruptcy." ”

At present, the starting salary of Detroit auto company union workers is about $18 (about 123 yuan) an hour, and the maximum wage for workers who reach a certain length of service is about $32 an hour. A 40% increase would be the overall increase over the next four-year contract period, but for now, there is little hope that car companies will agree to the request.

Previously, Musk was very happy to see the status quo and said that I (Tesla) paid workers much more than that.
