| I keep hearing "UAW demands the unreaasonable", "legacy costs", "Bailout proposal almost rejected because UAW refuse to accept the new wage policy", etc.. No, both parties are being smart not to directly blame each other, but even kids can see through those words. | |

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 13, 2009 6:10 am) The worse thing is that it is affecting the U.S. taxpayer! Why should the U.S. taxpayer have to fund an agreement between GM and its workers, when they made an agreement they can't afford to give (the company); or afford to accept (taking too much for GM to be viable)? To me the common sense solution that almost every other business would have to do is: 1) reduce the pay and benefits of retirees or active personnel to what the company can afford, or 2) the company goes bankrupt and possibly all workers and retirees lose everything. All of the problems GM and all the parties can be fixed by rewriting the paper contracts they have. They need to live within their income. It's not the taxpayers problem to guarantee the excessive promises that were made between GM and its workers (past and present).

Replying to: steve_ (Jan 13, 2009 7:48 am) Mine would say..."I thought I told you NOT to use any of the bailout money to invest in Madof's fund?? Now we'll get pennies on the dollar but at least it's easier to hide the loss this time!. What do I ride in on my next trip to Washington to ask for more funding in March? The Camaro is delayed, you Dolt!!" Regards, OW |

Replying to: tlong (Jan 13, 2009 9:01 am) The UAW wins one. Only took six months or so (plus a year long work stoppage before that). I have no idea if this plant is making ball bearings for the auto industry or not - looks like a lot of Ag stuff, but maybe they do some car transmission bearings. |
