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

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Nov 30, 2008 7:52 pm) Just what does a story about a 3rd rate electronics junk store chain have to do with the mess the UAW has created for the Big 3?

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Nov 30, 2008 7:36 pm) Just to stay on the story you have created. The UAW at its peak did not represent 1% of the work force. Somehow you have parlayed that into the greatest middle class in history. If you had said that the UAW had strong armed the weak management at the Big 3 into contracts that would not be sustainable, I would agree. If you made the claim that the UAW workers were the most overpaid in America, I would also agree. Those $118,000 per year fork lift operators are going to have a tough time on $9 an hour at WalMart. I learned negotiating contracts that having the highest paid workers in a field is not always a good place to be. It makes your contract a target. Not always a good position to be in. Pride goeth before a fall. That applies to the UAW and the Big 3 that ain't so big anymore.

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 30, 2008 6:26 pm) Count me in! I've lost a lot of my retirement investments and I deserve to be made whole! Otherwise I'd have to work for years longer and we must take care of our retirees! |
