how many pages the contract should really be. I'll take a stab at it. I'm gonna say they only really need about 25 pages for the entire contract. Really, how many raspberry jelly donuts and cups of Starbuck's does it take to hammer that pup out? Is this yet another example of American excessiveness? Or does not nationality play a part in these contracts at all? The same one could be drawn up in Japan, too, you're thinking? For Nissan or Toyota or Honda? Never mind Mitsubishi's Normal, IL, plant. They're already sucked in by the UAW there.  I'm not. This is a raspberry jelly donut and Starbuck's phenomenon here. Truly and totally American, where we grow 'em big and do everything big. Like the infamous Cadidillac. The domestics are toast, except for possible Fo-Mo-Co. They're the only one I like at all right now. But they need to shed the UAW's, and quickly.

Replying to: lemko (Nov 08, 2009 10:40 am) Great! The UAW can then begin collective bargaining in the Correctional System! I'm sure the contract will be under one paragraph on a page!  Since they already ruined GM and C and trying to finish off F now, here is a little blurb describing how PE unions will ensure Detroit become a no man's land that you so eloquently describe: On Tuesday, voters in Detroit trudged to the polls and re-elected 65-year-old Mayor Dave Bing, giving him five new city council members to accomplish a mission impossible: bring Michigan's biggest city back from near death. There's no clear prescription that will work, and Detroit's recalcitrant public-employee unions will resist the fiscal therapy that will necessarily be a part of any recovery. Short term, Detroit's best hope may be to go bankrupt. However, given Michigan law, which has never been tested because no city has ever filed for bankruptcy, it's unclear if even bankruptcy will fully release Detroit from the clutches of its unions and allow it to start over. The only thing certain is that fate is not kind to a city that allows unions to run amok. Can't let the UAW have all of the notoriety! Regards, OW

Replying to: lemko (Nov 08, 2009 10:40 am) Yeah right! I don't think 20-30 year old scab workers would be a bit afraid of a bunch of out of shape viagra popping 50 year olds that are one hamburger and smoke away from a heart attack.
