Not really; more like a sabbatical on partial pay: GM's Vauxhall Offers Workers Innovative Furlough Plan (AutoObserver) I'm assuming this includes line workers and not just white collar employees. |

Replying to: marsha7 (Dec 15, 2008 7:48 am) may be admirable, but really have nothing to do with what makes Detroit tick, or, what used to make Detroit tick...I have been to the Fox...nice place...so what??? The best way to see Detroit is in your rear view mirror...I defy ANYONE to find anything good to say about the City of Detroit, and rocky doesn't count... I think I found good things to say about Detroit. Theater is vibrant and Detroit has some of the best places to go. Thats what.

Replying to: steve_ (Dec 15, 2008 9:43 am) To make those image links work you have to find a picture linked to just an URL. Sometimes you can right click on a website photo and open in a new window/tab and just the pic shows up. Now hit the img button, paste the link and then close it by hitting the img buttan again. If a jpeg or other kind of file comes up and not a web link it will not work. |

Replying to: rexy44 (Dec 13, 2008 8:43 pm) Hard work is always appreciated, but that does not translate to a "tenure" where everything is guaranteed. For the education I have, I am sure you would also appreciate that it did not come free, in terms of dollars and sacrifice. In order to get my higher education, I studied nights and weekends, effectively making my kids prisoners in my own home, when I could have been taking them on vacations and theme parks all those time. Instead, they watched TV at home, while I studied in the library and/or bedroom. My first job in this country started in December in NJ. I had no car since I did not have money to get the lessons. I used to walk, along the highways, to work with a fat long jacket adorned, that I got at a Burlington coat factory on clearance. Nobody has had it easy, except for very few kids of rich parents. If anybody is under that impression that they deserve it more than others, let him/her be enlightened. |

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Dec 14, 2008 7:11 am) >Education is an asset and most certainly will get you more out of life. The great minds, those who can do the math and science, aren't just a matter of going to school. Hello....I said Intelligent class of people. Education does not always translate to intelligence, but then there is no other standard for anybody to measure up somebody else. The best businessmen are not a result of a Harvard MBA. They can only be CEO, COO.....etc. Most great businesses are founded by intelligent people who would rather start working on their business than "waste" time getting a diploma or a degree. |

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Dec 14, 2008 7:11 am) From here only. I do not know any UAW person on my own. That said, I am not against the UAW guy making good money. One should get paid what the market can bear. To demand a pay that goes against market sense, is nonsensical. |

Hey, if you enjoy Detroit, I hope you stay there, enjoy it, and live to be 100... You and rocky WILL be the only two people left, so why not cut the cost of your telephone and simply share a party line???...

A lot of Americans feel the same way about the greed of the UAW.
