These people might loose their jobs when the plant is permanently shut down - but I guess that’s too much to think about ...
Good grief! Why not just play russian roulette? It gets you there quicker.
Beautiful turn of events.. Train and Replace all Union Workers.. in that Plant.. and DARE OTHER PLANT workers to walk out.. in other locations..
I’ll take a 40% pay cut for the first 6 months if they get me a temporary place to stay, and train me.
And I won’t join a union.
What a quote. Is the reporter sure he just “reminded” the other workers or threaten them to do as they are told.
GM doesn't need to worry about their customer for the new Cross-over vehicles, Toyota, Nissan, etc... will pickup the slack.
Yep, the world economy is going to hell in a hand basket and these yahoos go on strike. Gots to choose your battles (and your timing).
Who ever came up with that meaningless name crossover???
LoL.. Me too.. Where is the genious executive that can figure THIS OUT.,..
Somehow I don’t think I’ll feel too sorry for UAW workers when this plant chains the gates and moves to Mexico.
Not to mention that Nissan just released the new Murano and Rogue, plus the Infiniti EX35...
Hope they like NO jobs and NO pay with NO contract in a downturn economy.
Something about...
Stuck on Stupid.
I wonder if the UAW workers ever wonder why the new foreign auto plants are being built in the south and they are all kicking the chit out of American auto makers.
“stuck on stupid” Bwahahahahaha. That is good and to the point.
The actual crossover is more meaningless than the name. I still can’t stand those ugly “crossover SUV’s.” If the SUV is not truck based, I’m not interested.
What isn't 30+ $$ an hour enough in this economic downturn?
What isn't free or very low cost health care for life incentive enough to work? Isn't special pricing on new vehicle for life enough?
The non-domestic automakers are probably just high fiving each other with news like this.
The UAW excels at being stupid and doing it at the wrong times.
its for soft people that did not like how rough trucks where and wanted their behinds cuddled inside some pumped up car/van
It’s the intelligent thing to do.
Darwin Award!
