Hillary wants a "Marshall Plan" for GM and Ford.

Unions (greed) will be the end of industries where they exist.

This could be trouble for a lot more than GM. I know that Navistar International uses a lot of Delphi parts and that they are back ordered (regulation change).

Delphi is moving all the jobs to Mexico. Perhaps they'll take some illegals with them.

About time. If a company can't make a quality product that people want, it deserves to die. Worse, if they saddle themselves with unsustainable social welfare "retirement" benefits, it deserves to die. Worse still, if they continue to pay idle workers because of years of kowtowing to unions, they deserve to die. Three strikes against GM--Ford is next.

I do hate to see an American icon like GM go down, but something drastic has to happen, and I hope taxpayer money isn't spent trying to prop them up. It would just cost billions and only delay the inevitable.

I bought my last GM product in 2004. What a piece of crap. Never again.

There will not be a strike, at least not a long one.

This is all posturing. The analysts and insiders I talk to all see Delphi avoiding a crippling strike.

Question: If the judge dissolves the contract, there can be no strike since Delphi and the UAW are no longer contracted together, correct? (technically speaking)

If so, the union walks out and Delphi says "bye, thank you for the years of partnership, but Delphi is choosing to go in another direction with our work force."

Why do Delphi, GM and the rest HAVE to deal with the UAW? They are the owners of the companies, they should be able to hire whoever they want to build their cars.
