Why aren’t these people doing something like washing windows, cutting grass, answering phones, etc... ______________________________ That would require undermining the janitoral union, the landscaping contract with the landscapers union, the telecommunications union etc. The fines from these labor violations would double the present cost per employee task.

The bailout of the big 3 will start with a promise of govt provided health care, so the medical costs of workers and retirees will be provided by US. Then of course their pension money will be moved to the SS system.....with a little left behind to grease the mucky ducks of course, then of course the cost of doing business for them will be similar to Honda and Toyota. This will be part of the bailout plan, I so predict.
