I would not steal a wallet, as I would expect you to not steal my job, while I was fighting against corporate corruption.
 
You might be able to connect the two, each meaning the same. I however can't link the two because it's ridiculous to compare someone defending his job, and someone stealing someone's wallet with a baseball bat. However I guess you could look at it this way anotherguy, as a scab not only will steal your job, he might as well grab your wallet on his way across the picket line.
 
Yes, assaulting someone trying to steal union members job, while on strike deserves "the sultan of swat" IMHO

Well most die-hard union members I know support the
"buy-american" slogan to keep good paying jobs in this country for this and future generations. If you work for GM, and drive a foreign car dieselone, it should be keyed. It's not about throwing a fit, kicking, screaming, tantrums, it's about respect. If you have no self respect, then at least show your co-workers and GM, a little respect. If you can't then live with the consequences or better yet quit.

GM pays its average worker $80/hour in salary and benefits.
 
Please show me credible documentation of this $80/hour propoganda......

Most employees believe in and are loyal to the company they work for. Too bad though that GM, Ford and Chrysler workers had not started buying and driving Hondas, Toyotas and Nissans back in the early 80's along with their domestic brands. They would have discovered what many Americans did about Japanese brand quality. They would have then been a very strong voice to their management asking for improvements in design, engineering, materials and asssembly processes.
 
I did some thinking before I decided to respond xrunner2. We all know and can throw stones at GM, for the 80's cars. However after doing some thinking about this subject I don't remember seeing any japanese car's from the 80's in a very long time. You would think such superior automobiles would still be around today. I do recall seeing some 80's domestic products on the road the last couple of days like a couple of old Chevy, Ford Pick-up's. I saw a mid-late 80's Camaro, Fox Body Mustang Convertible, a long with a 80's Corvette. Aren't they C3's ?
 
As I said I, for one wonder what happen to all these superior products everyone but the UAW, workers and their family's were driving ???

As one of the Fords said not too long ago, "We've figured out what unskilled labor is worth and it's not $65 an hour." He didn't say anything about the relative worth of Ford management.
 
LOL, well if that so-called unskilled labor isn't worth $65 an hour, then I beg to ask the question to him what does that make his unskilled management team worth ?????

Well until recently UAW members were really never asked or involved in product decisions.
