I think as I said have made my point very clear as to the domino effect the Big 3 collapse would have including healthcare jobs. The difference iluv, is Boeing didn't go belly up despite you losing your job pal, and it was democrats who pushed to save Boeing, despite people like McCain, who faught giving Boeing's, union folks contracts and gave them to McDonald Douglas, !!! Boeing, like General Motors, is an important industry not for just the jobs it provides but their demise is a national security issue and I have a feeling someday WWIII will break out and it will be companies like the Big 3 and Boeing, who will give us a fighting chance at victory while you work on doing your healthcare deal on us young guys who are doing the fighting !!!!

Replying to: cooterbfd (Nov 17, 2008 2:34 pm) Who's Charlie? What companies have CUT retiree healthcare and checks A neighbor of a close friend had his pension cut and healthcare costs were increased. I don't know if it's a national company from which he retired or not. I'll ask our friend when I see her next. She had him paint her home and do some interior paint and light remodeling work because she felt sorry for him. A parent in a group my son was in kept finding the national company for which he worked kept changing the promise for healthcare for retirees. He hadn't retired yet but what I understood is that the company kept paying less and less. He also kept fighting the changing amount of retirement if he did retire. I don't see him often to ask how it turned out. In GM's case the retirees need to take a reduction to help keep the company going. Otherwise..., no sympathy.

all I'm saying is a prudent UAW worker should be thinking about re-training. Now. Maybe start taking some action toward re-training. Your "facts" don't hide the fact that you avoid: not enough people want GM, Ford and Chrysler products. Should the U.S. be involved in throwing hard-earned tax monies away? Poor planning and management has equalled big-time trouble and throwing a very expensive Band-Aid at this while a lot of peope in all trades and industries are also losing their jobs isn't making good common sense to me.
