Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) seemingly suggested firing American auto workers who are currently striking for better pay.
Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan promised to rebuild America’s merchant marine fleet during a speech before the National Maritime Union in St. Louis, Missouri, on October 9, 1980. After his speech, the Republican nominee won a standing ovation and the endorsement of the 35,000-member union.
Two days later, when most PATCO workers did not return, it became clear that Reagan was not bluffing. Scott’s claims that auto workers are simply looking to get paid more while working less have been debunked by Breitbart News Economics Editor John Carney, who writes that the wage hikes they are looking to secure are on par with inflation and the cost of living.
the higher labor costs are likely to be absorbed by manufacturers’ margins rather than get passed on to consumers.Like Scott, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley , also the former governor of South Carolina, similarly claimed that increasing wages for auto workers will cause prices to increase.
