Biden Wants Corporates Profits Shared

by S. Jack Heffernan Ph.D

President Joe Biden sided with striking US auto workers Friday, saying they had not been given a fair cut of record profits at the “Big Three” manufacturers.

“Auto companies have seen record profits…. Those record profits have not been shared fairly, in my view, with those workers,” Biden said.

In televised remarks from the White House, Biden urged a contract that “sustains (workers) in the middle class.”

“It’s my hope the parties can return to the negotiating team to forge a win-win agreement.”

The strikes threaten Biden’s 2024 re-election momentum, as he often touts his support for unions and has made reviving US manufacturing a key campaign plank.

The walkout followed a failed last-minute push by General Motors, Ford and Stellantis to produce an agreement before the deadline late Thursday.

Biden said he had been in touch with both sides and would now send two administration officials to join the negotiations.

“No one wants a strike but I respect the unions’ right” to do so, he added in his brief remarks from the Roosevelt Room at the White House.

Biden declined to answer when asked whether he would get personally involved in the negotiations.

Yes, Corporate Profits Shared is a socialist ideal. It is based on the principle that the workers who create the profits of a corporation should also share in those profits. This is in contrast to the capitalist system, where profits are typically distributed to the owners of the corporation, even if they do not play a role in creating those profits.

There are a number of different ways to implement Corporate Profits Shared. One common approach is to require corporations to distribute a certain percentage of their profits to their employees. This can be done through direct payments to employees, or through employee ownership programs.

Another approach to Corporate Profits Shared is to create worker cooperatives. Worker cooperatives are businesses that are owned and operated by their employees. This means that the workers themselves share in the profits of the business.
