John Deere will just move the factory to Mexico or China.
That’s the beauty of globalization and free trade: if your employees are too demanding, you just fire them and move the operation to a third world country.
If you think this is bad, it means you are a Socialist, Marxist, and probably a Communist.
John Deere has outsourced component parts to China and Mexico for years. I lost bids for the parts a lot of times, and when they came in unusable and they called in a panic I burned their ass for quick delivery. The heavy stuff they get domestically because of the cost of overseas shipping.
They will capitulate, especially in the current labor market, or the CEO can hit the shop floor and turn a few bolts himself to make Wall Street happy. Might do him some good.
And greed and corruption also played a role in unions like the UAW where it succombed to the Dark Side to talk in Star Wars metaphors. The plotline of the movie "Blue Collar" is still relevant today.
this is a business decision on the part of the employees and employers, both are free to to react in any manner they wish. The years of allegiance to an employee or employer have long since ended.
One of the main reasons for exorbitant property taxes in many municipalities.
Public paid, thru the roof salaries and bennies. All thanks to the unions who basically own politicians.

Correction, DEM politicians!
That's right, unionsgive politicians money to make favorable laws for unions. Politicians then make favorable laws for unions so that unions will give them even morecampaign cash and unions oblige so that politicians can then give them even more favorable laws and regulations.

From 2010 to 2016 alone, labor unions sent more than $1.1 billion in member dues to anti-Republican advocacy groups, a nonprofit union transparency organization says. "For decades, union ...

It is my understanding that the new contract states the traditional pension will be replaced by a 401K for any employee hired after November, 2021 (not sure if it is a matching 401K). This is the norm these days (at least in the private sector).
I am not anti-union, but workers need to realize the days of the traditional pension are gone. You may still find it with a government job, but then you still have a mandatory pension contribution (this amount depends on what state you are in). Florida's FRS requires a 3% deduction, while some states in the midwest are 8% or higher.
It is futile to fight for the "traditional" pension. It is a unicorn for new hires in the private sector.
I worked in the corporate world for over 30 years.
There were some jobs where I felt I was undervalued and I left for greener pastures.
I was not a slave to any employer.
Sad to think people think they have to stay at jobs they don't like and pay crap.
Sure we all moved around.
But 10K people frustrated with their employer is not one individual seeking greener pastures.
It's a concern.
It's not a Republican vs. Democrat problem in my books.
