Why doesn't the UAW take GM stock for the VEBA? If the UAW doesn't value GM stock then why should Wall Street? If the UAW says no, its the end of GM

For once I agree -NOBODY stands up for the actual people who put together engines and trucks. The CO. don't care and Solidarity house is more interested in Casino workers 'We're not Bankers' is a horrible counter measure - After I read it, my very next thought was, 'yeah bankers only make $25 an hour' 'tough as steel' is much better But what really turns people against the UAW and the Detroit Big 3 is EVERYONE has a story about a bad car or truck Maybe some stories about workers fixing cars before they leave the factory or saving the company money by reducing work-- instead of some story of a drunk chairman or some worker's 8th trip to rehab

-- yes -- we have a whole factory that makes nothing but lemons HA HA HA Go UNION!!! HA HA HA

Because I work at Ford. I just get my KoolAid from a different fountain

Sooooo. . Saving GM is a waste of the UAW's money? the UAW has better use of the rank-and-files' money than saving GM? like what? organizing more casinos and graduate students?

File under: Put yer $$$ where your mouth is. If the SOLIDARITY House wants to save GM, let Gettelfinger throw in the strikefund!! Is there going to be a strike? no so let the UAW save GM If the UAW thinks GM won't pay them back, then they should hold onto the strike money DARE YA

Of course I disagree. The US taxpayers on the 2 coasts and the South don't care about the UAW or Detroit. The USA, outside of the Rustbelt, know the UAW is a place where people who can't read or pass a drug test get $29/hr with no co-pays. The Big 3/UAW worker makes about the same as a cop, a teacher, or a nurse. In California, NO ONE would pay a roofer $29/hr and that's how they see the UAW - just manual labor. When Gettelfinger says the UAW won't budge, its just MORE BAD press for the UAW. The taxpayers will get in their Camrys and Accords and drive away

the perfect bail-out would be for the detroit 3 to be merged together, renamed UAW, and use ALL the VEBA money to run the new auto company I am sure that the UAW can design, build, and market better cars than Chrysler, Ford and GM I dare you to put your money where your mouth is

QOS,FPS, SPCs were NOT already cut?? I'd expect that would have been cut out long before going to 1 shift. I'll call over there tomorrow and get that cut.

if the economy was good, people would NOT be buying FOCUS. When the economy was cooking people bought Explorers and trucks

Can the UAW keep its golf course? Black Lake loses $10million Should the UAW keep its country club? anyone play there? Is it worth the drive?? wouldn't the UAW be better served with an education center members in metro Detorit could drive to in less than half a day? Like in Warren or Ypsilanti?

wasn't Wayne down to one shift last year ? now its going to 3

if the book is not ready, how about an adobe file or some electric version? it is 2008, why wait for the dead tree edition? PROOF READING?

a $100k buyout without the UAW?? awesome that plant will never be organized

1 unit 1 team and 60 days after job 1. . .1 shift
