That is why our friend really has no comprehension of business reality...just make them pay more into the fund, as tho money grows on trees...strike for more, but the company is going under...use the force of gov't to make them pay the UAW more, as tho there is any money left at all...the simple fact of youth and growing up in an entitlement welfare (UAW) family means that they just think that checks just come in the mail from nowhere...GM is going under, and they simply do NOT get it...the idiots in the UAW almost make the mentally handicapped look intelligent...they have this "pay for nothing in retirement" as tho it is the minimum for working, when nobody has that kind of pension, but if you can say "welfare mentality" you have the lack of intelligence and the attitude of your UAW member... Ten years from now they still won't get it... Junkyard: "The Japanese use a lot of the same suppliers as the big 3, but their quality demands are higher and their parts cost a little more in some cases to build."...are you saying that Toy and Hon may buy dashboards from Johnson Controls, just like GM, but they have Johnson make their parts to a higher quality standard???...if true, I am surprised...I did not know that suppliers are simply making components at different standards for different makers... Maybe someone working for a supplier can verify what they do, or how they cut corners, depending on who the buyer is...

Replying to: imidazol97 (Apr 26, 2009 9:13 am) GM's two tiered wage scale will start UAW workers out at $14/hr and they will top out at $16.50 an/hr. if and when they hire again. I'm not sure what the UAW workers hired in 2006 to replace the higher paid veterans will top out. They started out at $18 an hour. I believe dad said they can top out at $22 an hour or something but there benefits will never be what his was. The top pay right now is $28 an/hr. as some of the old timers are still employed. I fully expect another round of buyouts at GM to get the old timers to leave. Delphi offered a round of buyouts last month and a lot more took it than what they expected.  I hope that breaks it down a little pal. -Rocky |

Replying to: marsha7 (Apr 26, 2009 1:53 pm) It is not the UAW workers fault that a Caddy STS depreciates in half. Maybe if GM would of put a top notch interior in it like they have the CTS and put the ULTRA V8 instead of the old Northstar it might hold it's residual a lot better??? Have you thought about that??? I doubt it!!!! It's the UAW workers fault because he designed and engineered it right????  He told Johnson Controls to cut corners on the fit and finish and quality of plastic to be used right??? Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepers Marsh7!!!!!! You need to pour yourself a drink and chill!!!!  -Rocky |
