Yeah, I'm having a rough couple of days. The UAW, is fighting for their lives against corporate greed. Until the large unionized company's like the Big 3 & UAW fight against these free trade laws and elect a guy like Dennis Kucinich, who is pro american labor their isn't much hope for this country. We are a nation in decline.
 
Those Eagles Jersey's were indeed ugly but that's still no excuse to lose like they did.

That's what I think the real issue is, with the corporate greed. I think the UAW doesn't want to end up like the pilots / stewardess and mechanics from the airline industry. These people were point-blank drained of everything, while the execs got nice bonuses and raises for "stopping the bleeding and making the numbers". There were no sacrifices, no benefits lost on the exec; it was all on the workers, those that survived the lay-offs & down-sizings (or "right-sizing" as they later called it). There were still huge losses but because the losses where less than they were the year previous, they made the grade, got the money.
 
That's a bunch of bull ka-ka!!
 
And as you know, until it happens to you, you don't know how it feels to go through that crap-o-la!! I went through it with Exide (GNB Division) and there were tons of people that wanted (and still want) the execs heads on platters. Man am I glad to be outta that place

Yep, it's hard to accept a contract when you and your brothers and sisters are the only ones feeling the swords edge cutting into your standard of living.

Looks like they're going to get the bonuses to retain the executive braintrust.
 
More like brain-frt to me

Subprime home loan industry problems work to slow the parts maker's bankruptcy emergence.

It makes sense and shows the disconnect between the haves and have-nots. These "haves" at Delphi think they can just keep borrowing, borrowing and borrowing, while giving themselves pats on the back (a.k.a. fat wallets with bonuses) for "making the numbers".
 
Well surprise, surprise!! Just as you need good credit, steady background and the ability to jump through hoops to get a mortgage loan, you need to do the same to get emergence from bankruptcy. You can't rob Peter to pay Paul then go back and ask for more.
 
What's that, is that Nelson saying "Ha-ha"?!?!
