Charles simmons, emiritus professor of human rights at the mary grove college, joins us from detroit, and we have john edminds, professor of finance at babson college, well last joining us on the phone. Uh, welcome to you both, charles simmens, let me first start with you, you know, when you take a look at this autoworker strike is not just about pay, i mean it is, but there are so many facets to it in terms of. Whos asking for the pay increase . If you can give us a brief synopsis of what this is all about, so we can get an idea. Well, thank you for inviting me, um, let me say that much of the reporting about labor issues, um, what when when you get economic report generally from business perspective, it doesnt give the history of the conditions of workers and the the economic conditions, actually the physical. Condition workers in the country, for instance, they the business reports generally report the condition of the health the stock market, but but less than 10 of the population in the United States own stocks, so much of that reporting is isnt irrelevant to uh people working in middle classes, um, i want to go back into some history, you know, since 1970 theres been a uh, the wages have been stagnant uh, were talking about 50 years, the wages have been stagnant through. Prices, workers have gotten into deep debt, mean so were in a consumer economy, many, much of the working classes and middle classes are deep personal. Okay, so john edens, i wasnt going to go back to uh, as far back as i guess there, charles, went, going to look and ask you at this point, what happened in 208 when the financial crisis it, you had these being bailed out by the government, i think the um other workers did the united other workers to the union um did a favor. For these uh Car Companies if im correct in my uh facts here uh that uh they werent going to get same pay as the older or the ones that uh were there before the 28 financial crisis until things got going and speaking but uh yet the waited this long uh and now theyre striking because they say you know were were left behind isnt that one of the reasons here and of course it is it is one of the immediate reasons okay and john edmons before you continue. And and you know whats amazing is that you know these Companies Got bailed out by the government so uh are the ceos i guess there um charles mentioned getting the pay increases and not the workers ultimately uh since the government was responsible for bailing out these companies at least they should Pay Attention to the workers go ahead well i think we should talk about the general disparity of the uh top stratum versus the what used to be called the middle class now you could call maybe the lower middle class and but the other the other problem that that that is beligiring the automobile business is they dont really need as many people as they used to need, so um, im very glad that the other person is from detroit, verify the population of detroit get a peak in like 1979 and then declined pretty much steadily and then was doing a a minimal rebound, but you cant really rebound since they didnt need to take back as many people when the when the recovery came, and then you do mention 2008, 2009. When the automobile uh companies were um so close to bankruptcy that uh fords bunds almost gotgrade to junk category and it was only through political intervention that the rating agencies did not downgrade them to junk categories so its an Old Technology um capital intensive industry which was also labor intensive but now is skill intensive johns professor of finance of bapson college melsly mass Charles Simmons emiratus professor rights mary college from detroit thank you to you both .
