GM workers just don't get it(video)
GM is facing almost sure bankruptcy. UAW members fail to accept any responsibility. They feel they have given "concession after concession" over the last twenty years. This flies in the face of a current contract worth over $70 thousand a year per employee. They feel they have given up everything they can in spite of refusing to take a base wage pay cut during the recent negotiations. The truth is the UAW failed to give any serious concessions in the recent bailout negotiations. They actually blame their fellow Americans for not buying their overpriced, poorly made vehicles. Watch the video of UAW members being interviewed. GM workers video here.
I’m not buying the UAW’s crap or their products !
Oh wait ......same thing !
WE vote with our pocketbooks daily.
The last one (2002 version) was such a piece of garbage that I swore off Chevy forever. I did buy a new Toyota last August.
The UAW can cry me a river, they are out of my life.
I worked with a lady who grew up in Red China but now spends her time living in Southern California and shopping for Prada online. With a straight face she told me the the ChiCom government did the right thing when they shot and ran over all those students in Tianamen square.
The UAW guys have been conditioned to think that they are the victims here. Ironically they probably will be the victims but of their own union's greed.
wait til the the UAW organizes McDonalds and Subway via Baraq’s card check scheme
the concept of “fast” food will be changed forever
Sad. I like GM and their white collar workers. The work very hard to try to keep the company alive while the UAW sucks it dry like a vampaire.
Democrtas do not buy American. The people the UAW hate - us. Are the people who would buy their vehicles. We have kept them alive by buying their vehicles.
They can go to hell. They need to finally get a dose of capitalism. I loathe Democrats, unions and RINOs.
When GM took money from zero, they became the company I won’t deal with, ever!
These days, when it comes to unions,
only one word should apply: bust.
Silver lining: it may bring back the "Mom and Pop" stores and diners. Be OK with me.
Allrighty then...boycott GM!
My wife bought a new Trail Blazer in '05 and discovered intolerable wind noise at about 60-65 mph..
Repeated trips to the dealer, replacing strips on the windows, no cure. Finally the mechanic at the dealer told her to "turn up the volume on the radio and she wouldn't hear the wind noise.
Somebody, no one who worked for G.M., told us to move back the front luggage rack as far back as it would go and the wind noise would go away. We did and it did. The dealer's maintennance tried to get us to believe that we were the only ones having this problem. Look around and observe how many Trail Blazers you see on the road with that front luggage rack pulled all the way back. - Now you know the reason for it and the crack about "turning up the volume on the radio", is just one of the reasons we will never purchase another G.M. product. The same time that my wife got her car, I bought a Toyota, I have 86,000 miles on it now and so far have had to replace wiper blades and get a new set of tires. No problems whatsoever.
Wal-Mart's one million plus workers are their primary targets.
Well, GM is being dragged kicking and screaming into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection small step by small step, no matter what these employees say. It’s taking a thousand small steps, but it goes to show you that even the most stodgy company like GM - UAW is in the end no match for the Invisible Hand of Adam Smith.
Um, see my tagline.
cram it UAW, I’m buying a Jag XKR-s
I support American made products that make this nation strong. Not American made products made to weaken and destroy this country through back door money laundering to polidiots and their handlers thru the UAW and other like minded criminal enterprises.
Unions used to be for the working man. Now they use and abuse the working man as well as the companies they infest.......want an example ?
IMHO .......See Big 3's slow and sure death unless they change soon ........:o)
Stay safe !
