At the Mary Grove College, joins us from detroit, and we have john edminds, professor of finance at babson college, well lass joining us on the phone, welcome to you both, charles. Let me first start with you, you know, when you take a look at this other worker strike, its not just about pay, i mean it is, but there are so many different facets to it in terms of uh, whos asking for the pay increase, if you can give us a brief synopsis of what this is all about really, 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, when the when you get economic report generally from business perspective, it doesnt give the history of the conditions of workers and the the Economic Conditions that actually the physical conditions of workers in the country. For instance, they the Business Report generally report the condition of the health of the stock market, but but less than 10 of the population in the United States own stocks, so so much of that reporting isnt isnt even relevant to uh people working in middle classes. Um, i want to go back cuz some history. History you know since 1970 theres been a uh uh the wages have been stagnant uh so we talk about 50 years the way have been stagning throughout the United States and the real wages have decreased compared to the cost of living over the past 50 years and so what uh what has happened in in the midst of continuing rising prices workers have gotten into deep debt i mean so were in a consumer economy many of much of the working classes and middle classes are deep personal debt okay so john edmonds um i was going to go back to uh as far back as i guess there charles uh went but i was going to look and ask you at this point what happened in 208 when the financial crisis it and you had these big three being bailed out by the government i think the um auto workers did or the United Auto 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 the same pay as the older or the ones that uh were there before the 28 financial crisis until things got going in a matter of speaking, but uh yet they have waited this long uh and now theyre striking because they say youre were left behind, isnt that one of the reasons here and uh of course it is it is one of the immediate reasons certainly certainly is okay and john edmans before you continue and and you know whats amazing is that you know these Companies Got bailed out by government so uh why are the ceos as 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 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 it maybe the lower middle class um and the other the other problem that that is the automobile business is they dont really need as any people as they used to need, so uh, im im very glad that the other person is from detroit can verify the population of detroit a peak in like 1979 and then declined pretty much steadily and then was doing a minimal rebound, but you cant really rebound since they didnt need to take back as many people when when the recovery came and then you do mention 2008 2009 when the automobile uh companies were uh close to bankrupty that uh fords bonds almost got downgraded to junk category and it was only through political intervention that the rating agencies did not download them to junk categories so its an Old Technology uh capital intensive industry which was also labor intensive but now is skill intensive john edmons professor of finance at bapson college melsly mass Charles Simmons and professor of human rights Mary Grove College from detroit thank you to you both thank you with that we come to an end for this edition.
