That does it...I'm buying a foreign car.

[sierrahome]

I grew up in Anderson, Indiana which had 2 major GM plants. General Motors FINALLY had enough of the UAW local and after about 70 years just moved out.

[hermgem]

Go South and see those foreign automobile assembly plants in full swing mode.
Oh yes, forgot to mention that these plants are non union.
By the way, pay and benefits are good.

[MizSterious]

Presumably a pro-Kerry bumpersticker would be alright?

Scum.

[socal_parrot]

I was a member of the UAW back in the 70s. Their only objective is to advance the Union agenda and care little or nothing about the rank and file members.

Death to the Union.

UAW = Usless Arab Workers?

[muawiyah]

Not surprising at all to find the UAW backing AlQaeda and Saddam Hussein ~ it's their taste for plastic shredders or something.

[Disambiguator]

Nowadays "American" cars are made from a lot of parts from all over the world. One thing I find annoying (as someone who does a lot of my own maintenance) is that you have to own two sets of tools, as the vehicles have both metric and SAE fasteners on them.

Oh, and the UAW can go $%@# themselves.

Here's the letter I sent to: 'uawsolidarity@uaw.net'

Dropping Escalade for FX

If its asking too much for you to support our troops, we’ll just send a few more of your jobs overseas.

I will now purchase the Infiniti FX rather than your Escalade.

Usually I have something witty to say about most any absurd situation but this takes the cake.

Evidently some people buy the socialist crap these useless union bosses heap on their followers, hook, line and stinker.

Unions have out lived their uselessness.

[26lemoncharlie]

Will any American UAW workers tell the Union to hit the Bricks and leave?? That's the best thing that could happen in this situation, it's up to the voting body of the UAW. Disband and reorganize with new Pro American Leadership, just leave the Union!

[Redbob]

Foreign vehicles have NEVER been allowed in the UAW parking lot - that much I can understand.

But as for the Bush bumper stickers:
well, it's their parking lot, and if I was running a GOP headquarters, I don't think I'd want Kerry/Whatshisface bumperstickers on cars parked there.

We know darned well the UAW is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Dimbulbs, so why should we be surprised at this?

[Captain Peter Blood]

Have just read a long article in a recent Business Week on General Motors.
Gm as well as Ford and Chrysler have major problems trying to pay for the Health Care benefits of current and retirees.
The UAW which has pushed and gotten these nice fat contracts has finally pushed the auto makers to the braking point as they have the Steel makers, airlines, etc.
It is estimated that it costs $2000 a car for GM to pay for all of these costs. So for the most part it is GM's Finance arm that has been keeping them afloat profit wise.
I am sure Ford and Chrysler are in the same boat.
It was also stated that bankruptcy was not out of line as was the real possibility that GM's bond status could be downgraded to junk.
All in all not a pretty picture and all thanks to the UAW.

[Graymatter]

If not for soldiers, we wouldn't have elections.

[Texas_Jarhead]

that sucks big ones

[auzerais]

I certainly hope that every VFW, Legionnaires Hall, Elks Lodge etc across the country start enforcing a policy of denying parking rights to anyone who is a member of the UAW or has a Kerry or union sticker on their car.
