Here is a short film that shows how much GM and Flint loved each other in the 50's and 60's.

But then things changed.

  • When GM started outsourcing manufacturing jobs to foreign countries is when the quality of their vehicles started to decline. Coincidence?

  • Define "unrealistic wage increases" you mean cost of living increases? You mean overtime? Try working 6 days a week in 100 degree heat welding fenders.

    Autoworkers. Deserve. Every. Penny. They. Get.

    When your company has a product that is so hot everyone wants it, has a waiting list, you will have enough money to more than cover wage increases. Making tons of money means never having to worry about paying workers!

    Ask Toyota (Prius)

    Ask Boeing (777)

  • Very sad. Those corporate "people" really know how to stick to us little folks. The job creators giveth--and they taketh away.

  • I´m from a shitty mexican place, but this is sad

  • I am proud to be a MICHIGANDER and proudly drive my GM car with its FLINT POWER PLANT! I wish more people would drive AMERICAN! Shame on all you TOYOTA PRIUS, KIA, HONDA, and all the other FOREIGN MADE JUNK Drivers out there! There is no PRIDE anymore! I could give shit if your Foreign junk is made here in the USA, the profits still go to some Foreign slanty eyed dude in elsewhere!

  • Flint is a ghetto town now because all the black people came here and ruined the whole town.  If you dont believe this drive down saginaw street around midnight.

  • cool video, even though its kinda depressing.

  • all you union bashers suck!

  • Saturday, June 4th, 2011. Flint, Michigan.

  • I live just south of Flint and it is too bad what it has become.

  • Us working class americans can not buy into the "Union Bashing"! I hate when we debate issues and people try placing all or majority of labor industry problems on unions. Try looking into bad management and corporate greed. Then stick up for yourself and demand Fair wages and safe workplaces. Respect yourself and your neighbors, take pride in your work and skills, stop playing the blame game and lead by example. Read the book "where have all the leaders gone?" by Lee Iaccoca. Brainfood!

  • I want that picture of the grim reaper with the gm sickle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where did you get it/
