Unions voting themselves out of a job as usual. We need to get rid of Unions then maybe our mfg jobs will come back to the US. Unions were ok 50/60 years ago but no more. Coming from a Flint, Mich. union family unions are no longer needed or wanted. Just a bunch of thugs living the high life on union dues.
‘Fat Cat’ greedy bastards are constantly trying to reap in the millions and billions on the backs of the working guy.
I see. Evidently business owners aren't making an honest living in your view.
I'm sure the working guys put out of work by this move will assemble the capital, equipment, and contracts needed to revitalize this plant, obviating the need to close it, right? Or does that work not count in the grander scheme of things?
You may want to look up the phrase 'enlightened self-interest' at some point, FRiend.
You are free to find other more suitable employment. You are free to start a competing business and hire employees at $28/hr and “stick it to the man”.
Know this: Any employee can be replaced. Either by another employee or by a machine.
Solution: Find a need the market cannot do without and fill that need more efficiently than anybody else.
AAM got hit with a parasite, the union, which killed it. One thing that could have helped the situation is for the union to agree to cut its dues to $0. In my wife’s case, that would be more than $1K per year difference in disposable income.
Not sure, but I’ll bet the union reps still have jobs with the UAW somehow.
Many small business owners earn less than their lowest paid employee nowadays. Will you not be happy until profit margins are cut to zero?
Who will then grow the business, invest in R&D, and most importantly, pay the idiotic corporate taxes and the settlements foisted on them by the tort bar.
Capital does not go where it cannot grow. Why, after 6000 years can liberals not get that through their thick red and pink skulls?
Once again, the unions scammed themselves out of a job. Business aren't created to give away every dollar they make to union employees. Simple hourly wages should be enough.
Uh...
It’s CNC, not CMC. And gears are hobbed, not milled or turned.
But hey, you’re the expert, so you can decide how much they’re worth.
Who is John Galt?
Well, we know for sure it's not Java4Jay!!!
Just one of my neighbors here in the Gulch...
Gone to MEXICO...!!!
A&P food company, too. The unions wouldn't cave. The company backed the trucks up to the building one night, loaded the equipment, and locked the doors. Thousands lost their jobs.
The factory building has since been torn down.It was HUGE.

yes CNC i missed the N and i know about gear hobbers and broaches but i'd bet a CNC wire-burner will cut better gears than a hobber will... but i don't know their layout and i'm STILL willing to bet most of them are NOT machinists
ps in days gone by, i was a machinist and CNC programmer in the Flint Glass workers union at Corning Glass
Not a good plan..IMO.
Good luck!!
I'm sure you are correct. Real machinists are getting hard to find. I'm rebuilding an old Chevy engine and it's not easy finding old school guys who can do this stuff.
All their products will be sabotaged now.
If uou were pro american, you wouldn’t be antiwalmart.
Walmart is the most successful company on the planet
That’s good.........
