Replying to: dallasdude1 (Nov 30, 2008 4:18 pm) The UAW leaders are as much to blame for the current condition of the Big 3 as the management that enabled them. They were all part of contracts that dumped the burden of retirees onto the future workforce. To me that is as bad as our Federal Governments lousy SS programs. There was no thought of the future only the greed of the present in those poorly written contracts. Now you and I the tax payers will have to cover those retirees when GM falls and they will. As a life long Union person I take pride in the way our Union runs their business. We set aside money for each man hour worked in a retirement fund that is closely guarded by both current and future retirees. It does not depend on some fictitious worker ten years from now paying for our retirement. If the UAW had not been such an arrogant bunch of thugs they could have gotten pointers from Unions that were around a LONG TIME before they came into being. They are a small fry Union poorly run and we are now seeing the results of their poorly written contracts. If you think the UAW set the standard for middle class American workers you live in a dream world. As far as Obama getting elected. "Welcome back Carter" with a Clinton controlled cabinet. Better get your name in the hat to rent the Lincoln Bedroom. He has already back peddled on the GM Bailout. He will probably be in China when the legislation needs to be signed. Working on his one World government with him as KING. |

Replying to: nvbanker (Nov 30, 2008 7:40 pm) During the past two weeks, while CEO Dave Edmondson has found himself forced to resign after admitting he had lied about his college education — and faced scrutiny about charges of driving under the influence — the company and its executives have behaved with arrogance and a lack of openness. This attitude does a great disservice to the legacy of RadioShack as a local corporate leader. Upon Edmondson’s resignation, Claire Babrowski was named as interim successor. But when this announcement came from Len Roberts, former CEO and now executive chairman, Babrowski was nowhere to be heard or seen. Roberts, who had proclaimed just over a year ago that Edmondson was the obvious choice to succeed him, was all of a sudden tight-lipped. (Overall, the public-relations work at RadioShack has been abysmal, almost non-existent.) Edmondson’s fate is tinged with corporate tragedy. He had risen at a youthful age, from virtually nowhere, to become the leader of a large public company. And he was undone by fibbing on his résumé and what appears to be an alcohol problem. http://www.fwbusinesspress.com/display.php?id=4538
