I drove Chevy Blazers for more than 20 years consecutively, 4 different ones.

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.

Many UAW members have been brainwashed and conditioned to think this way.

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.

When GM took money from zero, they became the company I won’t deal with, ever!

You mean the part doesn't sit right, or there's a screw or two missing? Invoke the UAW slogan: "Ship it anyway!"

These days, when it comes to unions,
only one word should apply: bust.

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.

Boo boo f’n hoo...

I said it once, I’ll say it again...the unions can bury themselves into the ground by their absolute greed, ignorance and incompetence and NO ONE will miss them...

Buy whatever you want...

In the meantime, I remember the doofus who took away the tax write off for buying vehicles - sure didn’t help the auto industry.

I buy American as much as possible b/c regardless of what you want to believe, American profits go to Americans and America. Foreign company profits go, well, to the foreign company’s company and country.

Do you get this at all? Forget that some Americans are paid by foreigners. Just look at the overall picture.

Not only that but our own country has made it far more lucrative for other countries to dump their cars, steel and MORE while WE Americans can’t get the other countries to take our stuff unless we pay huge tariffs.

When GM folds, who will ever hire those UAW workers?

Soon enough, there will be nothing left but small businesses, and nobody who runs a small business will hire a washed up union hack.

Oh, by the way, I love my Toyota.

I’ll start buying when they stop building crap, actually make the car in the US and offer comparable warranties.

Me, my father and uncles only bought American sedans for decades and most of us just stopped.

The quality coming out of “Detroit” today is laughable. I’m an engineer with manufacturing experience and I find flaws on their cars that are embarrassing.

They feel they have given "concession after concession" over the last twenty years.

Much like the "palestinians."
