The only reason that Honda and Toyota are so good is because their unions aren't as strict and dont pay their workers as well as the UAW. It's the Unions fault that some american cars from the 80s and 90s aren't the best quality but others are, tell me when was the last time you owned a GM, Ford or Chrysler vehicle. We have friends with a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan and it has not had any major problems. People these days just confuse the hell out of me.
IPOMonster, we need people to build products, they dont just build themselves. Also The Auto Workers in the U.S.A working for GM, Ford, or Chrysler are getting pretty dang good wages because of the unions. Everyone is losing money in this economy not just blue collar workers.
The American Automobile is designed to only make it seven years or just out of waranty. To plop down $24,000 on a new car to only be worth $8000.00 in four years is a very bad investment. Thats almost worse than maxing out a credit card. Soon all American companies will be hit with a "carbon" tax. The UAW gets money from its members to bully companies for more better bennifits. Most of these jobs are in big cities to where it takes 35 an hour just to barely make it over poverty.
Nice message. The trolls here reveal their ignorance and lack of credibility when they flame about $70 wages, legacy costs, and other things they clearly know nothing about and likely ripped from some right-wing hero of theirs.
You're not bankers, but you take your company's funds so that they can go bankrupt while you enjoy $35.00/hr to push a broom or clean a bathroom. The best thing that the big 3 can do is go bankrupt, dissolve the contract with the UAW, re-structure the company, and hire non-union replacement workers.
You overpaid, overcompensated losers! Stop your whining! It's because the auto companies are paying bloated benefits to people who no longer work for them that they can no longer make a profit. It costs too much "overhead" to build a car and the true price of that built auto would be unaffordable for the public to buy. Unions are the reason that businesses go overseas or just go belly-up in America.
I guess being competitive means we need to pay 25 cents an hour like the Chinese. Funny thing is, most of the jobs going overseas now are not union jobs, they're non-union jobs from right to work states whose employers aree complaing about the high $7/hour wages they have to pay.
The people who wrecked this country are the free traders who believe the "free market fairy" is going to come and make everyone rich on law wages.
HA!
"We build quality cars and trucks..."
Consumer Reports' reliability report cards say otherwise.
"We won't let America down..."
Tell that to eveyone who has switched to Japanese brands after owning Detroit brands.

United Auto Worker's Union members AVERAGE:
1. 42 PAID days off PER YEAR.
2. 5 WEEKS of vacation
Yet, they STILL fight for more. Dumb, uneducated cocksuckers KILLED the American Automotive Industry.
For decades they've been ripping people off with their shitty cars and now they got exactly what they DESERVE folks!
If you buy American-Made cars, it's because you can't afford a REAL car...

You're not bankers because you don't have something called an EDUCATION!

A job a monkey can do!

You are already out of business, UAW people.
Since december 2008 you are on the Federal Dole, and it is not going to last.
* If you are a worker, it is time to move and to look for another job. Maybe in another state. Got it?: TIME TO MOVE.
* If you are a UAW boss, it is time to look for a REAL job.

We all have a lot we owe the UAW. I don't know if pigs like:
- nightfrog65
- 2thetxchick
- choctundra
really exist or are really "Right To Work" flamers, but if they do they are really disgusting.
