I agree that the C.E.O. must make a good salary but when the company does not perform for years? Come on now. You would fire him if it was YOUR company, no? Regards, OW |

Replying to: lemko (Dec 01, 2008 6:21 am) It was way more than he was worth, if you look at the net profit at GM. It could also be why he keeps signing onto UAW contracts that are not good for the bottom line. If Congress signs onto a bailout without getting rid of all the Job banks it will be criminal. A company paying those that retired after a long career is a good thing. Paying people to sit and not work is poor management. They also need to raise the age that you can start collecting retirement. Lastly take all control from the Union on modernization of the factories. They NEVER should have had a say in how a company operates. All goes back to worthless management. |

Something was said somewhere that the UAW and GM had agreed to changes in pay and benefits that would allow a lower labor cost by the end of 2009? Does someone actually know more about that agreement in a way they can explain if and how it remedies some of the perceptions I and others have? |

Replying to: lemko (Nov 28, 2008 8:36 pm) Best bet is to quit asap while performing at 100 percent. In large companies, one can seek a transfer to another position/department with a new boss if pay is ok and overall company philosophy toward workers is good. Are UAW workers treated poorly or disrespected or are they paid poorly? Some years back, there was some kind of union contract that required that rail companies keep on an extra person in the locomotive to do nothing after the need for the associated position was eliminated by technology.

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Nov 28, 2008 9:06 pm) What is a "UAW" product? Where are the facts/data on decomposition? To what extent do UAW employees determine products to be manufactured, designs, engineering and quality of materials and parts used in products?

From the Philadelphia newspaper: Offering to Support the Unemployed God bless this wonderful woman. There are some things she points out that are very very disturbing. |

Replying to: chikoo (Dec 01, 2008 10:18 am) Thanks for raising the question. I've been wondering the same thing: could dallasdude1 be guilty of PWI (posting while impaired)? |
