Replying to: marsha7 (Jul 15, 2009 6:25 am) WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will say in Michigan, a state hard-hit by the downturn in the car industry, that some auto industry jobs that have been lost will not be returning. "(The) hard truth is that some of the jobs that have been lost in the auto industry and elsewhere won't be coming back," Obama will say, according to prepared remarks released by the White House. "They are casualties of a changing economy. And that only underscores the importance of generating new businesses and industries to replace the ones we've lost, and of preparing our workers to fill the jobs they create," Obama says in the remarks. I have to wonder what those jobs may be? I am thinking learning to dig caves for US all to live in when he gets his Cap N Trade going real good. We are headed for the dark ages with all his programs. The UAW just had further to fall than most. |

Replying to: marsha7 (Jul 16, 2009 3:58 am)  The Cha Ching continued even when I was producing less than I should have been. It is one of the negatives associated with Unions. Blogging on company time was my way of getting even with management for being so stupid. It was especially gratifying when the boss was sitting across the desk from me and I was typing responses and talking to him at the same time. Of course you have to be able to multitask to pull that off.

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 16, 2009 5:06 am) But, on the other hand, when you produced as much as you could, your boss (or more likely your boss' boss' boss) was still unhappy, and probably wishes he could've replaced you with someone willing to pay him to let you do your job, so he could make even more money. (OK an overexaggeration) But the union kept him from doing things like that at will.

Multitask???...when I post here I usually forget I practice law...now, if I can only practice it enough to get it right...

Replying to: cooterbfd (Jul 16, 2009 5:46 am) Just to keep the record straight. We never went on strike and we never pushed beyond what the company could afford to pay. As a not for profit cooperative the financial books were open to all. Unlike the UAW that went for the throat every time and finally hit the jugular vein sending the Auto Industry into the toilet. |
