busted unions

Waaaah

Delphi Corp. workers angered by the auto parts supplier's proposal Friday to close or sell many of its plants said the plan would ruin some employees' lives and hurt communities that rely on the facilities for jobs and tax revenues.

Oh please, spare me the melodrama. The loss of a job can be difficult, but it does not "ruin" your life.

You can't shut down the whale oil industry in New England! No way could we recover from that blow.

Henry Reichard, chairman of the International Union of Electronic workers' automotive conference board in Dayton, said Delphi's plan will hurt efforts to avoid a strike.

"We will not be threatened or intimidated into accepting an agreement that dismantles our plants and devastates our membership," he said.

News flash: they are not your plants, Mr. Reichard.

[Brilliant]

The unions did this to their own members.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of people.

Dem bleeding heart, overpaid chickens is coming home to roost.

To the "poor" union thugs I say, "Welcome to the real world."

I have a friend who has worked in a Ford factory for 20+ years. He used to work in quality(?) control but his job position was eliminated. Now he sweeps floors and oils machinery. But his pay ($100,000+/year) didn't change.

I'm sorry, but that is unsustainable.

Delphi, its unions, and General Motors Corp., Delphi's former parent and largest customer, spent months negotiating but were unable to reach a wage agreement.

So rather than come to some wage concessions that would help save plants and jobs, they decide to hold firm, and now that the prospect of plant closing and job losses comes about because of it; they're threatening to strike a company that's trying to stay in business.

Publik skool edukation at its finest.

Boo freaking hoo! Move to France you jerks. Unions ruin jobs!

Jim Hurren, president of UAW Local 467 which represents workers at the Saginaw brake plant, agreed, saying his site has a lot of assets.
"We make a good quality product. We've got an experienced work force," he said.

Is there anything stopping the unions from putting their money where their mouth is and buying these plants?

Watch the dems come up with a bail-out plan to keep the union vote......
