You made your bed now sleep in it.
What, the Obamessiah has not brought total Kumbaya to the situation?
“Ron, tell the Union not to agree to any GM proposal. Rham and I have your back. We'll push GM into bankruptcy, screw the creditors and give you majority ownership. Don't worry about what the bankruptcy law says on paper. You'll own the place in a month.”
The UAW apparently can’t read the handwriting that’s been on the wall for at least the last two decades.
Looks like Obama is creating new ‘jobs’, it’s just that they will be somewhere other than the U.S..
Any relation to: ? (from Wiki)
Walter Philip Reuther (September 1, 1907 – May 9, 1970) was an American labor union leader, who made the United Automobile Workers a major force not only in the auto industry but also in the Democratic Party in the mid 20th century. He was a socialist in the early 1930s; he became a leading liberal and supporter of the New Deal coalition.
Amazing.....people aren’t buying the cars they make....and somehow we’re supposed to keep them in a $60, 000 a year job with our tax dollars.
GM didn't lose to Japan's car companies. GM drove their customers away, thowing rocks and cursing us the entire way. I got my first Toyota, and have never looked back. I get great realiability with my Toyotas, and have no intention of ever even considering a GM car in the future, and it truly doesn't matter what the price difference is. GM made it personal, so it is with no small amount of glee that I watch them sink into obliviion. Yes, I will dance on their grave ... and then drive my Toyota away to continue my celebration elsewhere.
......UAW legislative director Alan Reuther wrote in a letter to Congress......
Hmmmm.... is there a whiff of nepotism in that statement?
Was not Walter Reuther the boss of th UAW that made the mess his son is now diddling in. Can a UAW boss get there by never having made an auto?
Did Alan Reuther and Harold Ickes grow up with union made silver spoons in their mouths?
Are they not American enemies.
Is not hte Democrat party a crimina enterprise.
Are not Reuther and Ickes criminals?
I wonder what would happen if GM management followed the example of FRancisco d’Anconia and his Mexican copper mines?
the politicans and uaw can share alot of the blame for the demise but the attitude towards american cars is the main reason. there are lots of americans that simply wouldnt buy a ford gm or chrysler no matter what.
Under FairTax, the competitive advantages of foreign car manufacturers disappear, and GM has all the incentive to keep jobs and corporate headquarter operations in the USA, not to mention everybody wanting to hold GM stock since there are no more income tax consequences for selling GM stock or dividend payments on GM stock! The result is obvious: the UAW won't have to worry about "outsourcing" of production, and GM don't have to worry about paying taxes on the revenue generated to the company.
Taxpayers are shelling out tens of billions (and plenty more to come) to provide lush retirements and platinum bennies for UAW members.
Can anyone in the GOP grab this and run with it?
Tea time anyone?
