Friend of mine in the industry says all voice mail at GM headquarters is turned off, is this true? Are they really trying to shut out thier suppliers? I know his company is pretty peeved at them right now. I'm sure they're not the only ones who are getting shafted.

Replying to: gagrice (Jan 13, 2009 8:02 am) Let me get this straight; UNEMPLOY 75,000 people, put them on unemployment, and replace them with people making HALF THE PAY. Now, THAT will do the US taxbase a world of good.

Replying to: tlong (Jan 13, 2009 11:12 pm) So, by this logic, sometime soon after gas is $4 the Tundra and Sequoia will be axed???? ".....GM has the Volt coming but looks to have some major usability issues IMHO - cost, 40 miles on a charge only then you are running on gas through an intricate charging system" What is so intricate about an alternator charging a battery??? We've been doing that for 90 years.

Replying to: lemko (Jan 14, 2009 9:53 am) I realize you are jesting or should be. The truth is the imports keep building factories and hiring people off the street and they are building superior cars to GM on a regular basis. We are not talking rocket science. If someone cannot be trained in 2 weeks to do most any job in a factory he or she should be let go and find someone that can. The UAW may have the Big 3 convinced they are good workers. The proof is not in the final product. At least not in my most recent GM purchase. In fact my good trucks came from Mexico and Canada. |

Replying to: cooterbfd (Jan 14, 2009 4:36 pm) Now, THAT will do the US taxbase a world of good. Unemployment is being paid to the out of work employees currently. If they take a job at half the cost per hour it saves GM a ton of money. The Jobs bank is history so we just replace the current employees on unemployment with the GM employees that feel they do not need to cut their wages to save their company. It is pretty much a wash on the tax payer. This will all have to happen under bankruptcy as the UAW has already said they would not open their contract for negotiation. I am sure many UAW workers would want to stay on the job even at half the pay and benefits. Beats unemployment for 6 months then nothing. |
