According to the NY Times, the Senate has decided to drop the card check provision from a pending labor bill. Democrats Drop Key Part of Bill to Assist Unions (You may have to go through a no-cost registration process to view this.)

Replying to: jimbres (Jul 17, 2009 7:41 am) Lear and the UAW are just about patched up. (Reuters) Out in California: "NUMMI’s collapse confirms what industry insiders have known for years: That NUMMI was a political arrangement between the two auto giants to give Toyota cover from protectionists by hiring UAW labor while giving GM exposure to Toyota management methods. Now that both companies are bleeding recession red, NUMMI is a luxury they can no longer afford." Toyota breaks with UAW (National Review) The pols are pushing a tax exemption to try to save NUMMI - “We’re all very, very hopeful,” said Veronica Morgan at the United Auto Workers union hall. “In California everybody would love to have a Prius, we drive so much. So we’re really excited and hopeful that something will happen over at NUMMI and that we do get the car.” Toyota is expected to make a decision by the end of July, according to Fremont city officials. Toyota’s contract with the UAW expires on August 8." KCBS Maybe they'll blow up the factory (a threat by French auto workers - AutoObserver). |

Replying to: fezo (Jul 17, 2009 10:17 am)  ). Windows 7 overrides my Windows-Z macro and logs me off my computer though. It's supposed to flop "Chrysler" up (Z for Dr. Z - that's how old my macros are). Or maybe it's trying to tell me something. I'm afraid to think what would happen to Bob if we got him started on macros. Is the UAW responsible for screwing Camaros together? The laundry list doesn't sound like it's just a supplier issue.

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 17, 2009 10:29 am) That is an incredibly long list of items. In this day and age, majority of those problems should not be present. Hasn't GM learned from the past and applied? Would not have even had these problems on a 68 Camaro, 40 years ago.

Replying to: xrunner2 (Jul 17, 2009 12:09 pm) That's an insanely long list. Says far more about GM than I would want to think. But, were rocky still here, he'd point out that this isn't a UAW car but rather a CAW car. Whew! Close call....
