I think you’re describing exactly how the process is working. If all of the employers are playing hardball, the union can exercise its right to strike and force the employers hand. Either the auto companies have to a) Meet the union demands b) find someone (or something else like a machine) to do the job or C) cease…

I completely agree and as I stated in my comment, both employer and employee have full freedom to seek other arrangements if they are not satisfied with the terms, and that includes my full endorsement of the employees rights to say they don’t consider their compensation sufficient and go seek more acceptable…

Did you even read my comment? I’m saying both parties are free to seek employment/employees wherever they like. The only way my comments give employers “all” the power is if there’s only one employer and the employee has no choice.

Except the difference is these workers are free to take their talents elsewhere if they believe they’re not being fairly compensated in return for the value they provide.

Except how does the cash grab work if he’s the only one who believes in the stock?

First off, anyone who was even remotely following this company and its stock/IPO was already well aware that the guy bankrolling the company was hanging onto basically 100% of the stock himself.

A train seems like the dumbest and least safe mode of transport for political figure

“If you’re parked illegally and the private property owner or the city wants to remove you from that spot, towing has that impact. Booting doesn’t,” he told ABC News. “The car is still in the spot so the spot is not available for anyone else if that’s your intended goal.”

It’s probably the insurance companies not the event holders that deny most of these claims. The smart organizations take out an insurance policy so instead of being a 1% chance of paying out 90K and a 99% chance of paying out $0, they just pay the insurance company $1K to assume the risk and insurance companies…

This makes no sense, they were already an hour late so no sense taking off to save your on-time stats. And people still had to wait on the other side for their bags to get there, so for anyone who had a checked bag there was basically zero benefit to not waiting for bags. 

Did you look at the pictures/video? “Caved in” is pretty dramatic wording for what one might also describe as “probably would have passed if this was a sanctioned crash test” I would love to see a picture of any vehicle at all that rolled over and didn’t sustain comparable damage. 

Seems like this article is way too triggered about the fact this guy made a geographically incorrect statement rather than focusing on the fact his comments were crappy and racist regardless of whether or not the geographic aspect was accurate...

What about this article and the photos makes this seem like an unsafe vehicle? “oooh in a rollover crash some glass and plastic fenders broke”

So kind of like what happens to any car on the planet in a rollover crash? Cool story bro

I’m only willing to pay on a subscription basis for features where the OEM is also incurring cost on an ongoing basis.

Except aren’t insurance companies the opposite of that? They take your premium “betting” that you (and the collective group of customers) will have good fortune such that total claims will be less than total premiums. 

Must be a regional thing because in my neck of the woods, any of the automated ones where the customer remains in the vehicle for the duration of the wash don’t have any full time staff (unless you count the ones connected to a gas station where the station has someone inside at the register) and are open 24/7.

You really shouldn’t even go to a self-serve one if you’ve got a large volume of mud. They usually have a pretty simple small drain designed for minor debris and will clog up if you’ve got serious mud caked on. 

Kinda defeats the purpose of an automated car wash if you need an employee to man it...

Still a little confused where the $379M comes from, article only explains $1M in cash and 95M in equity award
