I have been reading a book about Warren Buffet. One of the stories relates to his buying of a newspaper - the Buffalo Evening News. This was back in 1982, I believe. After he had control of the paper, it was struck by the drivers' union - all 38 of 'em. What were they demanding? Overtime for work not performed. Who does that sound like? Then, the pressmen walked off also pulling the page plates off the presses as they left. Sound familiar? Buffett thought he was sunk, so he closed the doors to the paper, and told the union that the paper "has a limited amount of "blood", and if it bleeds too much, it will not live anymore", and that "he would not reopen unless there was a reasonable prospect of a viable operation". Well, the union blinked, the strike ended, end the paper was delivered. The workers kept their jobs, and Buffalo continued to have daily paper. It is is lesson the UAW should have learned before it struck GM. |

Replying to: lemko (Apr 14, 2009 4:32 pm) Just that GM's engine WILL for sure! You do not recall an engine for "not Likely". The brakes are the culprit and spark plug retention channels need to be replaced. You should check out the recall before you blindly defend the junk GM builds. Obviously there are multiple problems. Here is another recall for your review. In August 2007 the government recalled 20,594 Buick Rendezvous, Chevrolet Venture, Pontiac Aztec and Montana, all from the 2002 to 2004 model years because the fuel tank check valve could fracture, presenting a fire hazard. This is a small one but just shows major issues are involved on the junk models they build...fewer models, less recalls. Simple.  Regards, OW
