“When GM folded Saturn under GM corporate”... You mean from the beginning?
I live just 15 miles north of the Saturn plant and worked at the hotel in Nashville they used to bring in all the new dealers and orientate them on the “new kind of car company”.
Almost immediately after starting construction in Spring Hill, TN they broke a promise (all lies actually) that ALL employees would come from the local area. They instead moved hundreds from Michigan (all UAW members) because the UAW threatened other plants with walk outs, strikes, slow downs, etc. if THEY weren’t hired instead.
Then their lies about only buying from local suppliers that moved into the area anticipating business was over about a month later when they announced many parts would be brought in from other UAW controlled plants.
One big lie from the beginning. Now here in middle TN we have a bunch of semi-retired and retired UAW union thugs running around with Obama stickers and whining all the time.
Where UAW types are concerned, how could you tell labor action from just another day at the plant?
