But why are they buying products made by foreign companies who have even more radical union organizations?
Japanese auto workers reach out to U.S. union
Thursday, August 3, 2006 at 07:13 EDT
DETROIT Japanese auto workers would like to join forces with US unions, a leader of the Confederation of Japanese Auto Workers said Tuesday. Labor leaders of both countries need a common agenda, according to Isao Yoshida, the leader of a JAW delegation touring North America.
Yoshida sidestepped a question on whether Japanese workers would assist the United Auto Workers as they try to organize U.S. workers at plants operated here by Honda, Nissan and Toyota. Yoshida said that the JAW is a member of the International Metalworkers Federation, the umbrella organization for unions representing auto workers, and believes workers should belong to unions.
I once made the mistake of purchasing a chysler product. It cured me and my two sons from repeating that mistake.
Wow. How many years of collage do you need to be a plant worker?
That sucks. My condolences. But that happens and is why we all have to take more responsiblity in our lives, we can't trust government or business to take care of us. I hope you have a soft landing.
YOU: Actually, more toward them than toward you
Yeah, I figured I was a teaching vehicle but it was a good time to bump, lol, keep the faith bro’.
my dodge pickup says “made in Mexico “ on the door near the VIN
IIRC
the track loaders are from France
excavators from malaysia with mitsubishi parts
and so on and so on
let me clarify that...they dont hire from certain counties where all the laid off UAW workers live....
Don't get me wrong. I think employers should be allowed to hire the best qualified for the job, regardless of some "group" they may or may not belong to.
I am amazed that this would be legal in our very pro-union culture (remaining from 40 years of Democrats).
BurbankKarl clarified this as Honda only hires within a geographic area....nullifying the legal issue.
Thanks, Karl!
Yeah, how many years do you have to study art anyway? :)
(couldn't resist)
Collage: (From the French: coller, to stick) is regarded as a work of visual arts made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Use of this technique made its dramatic appearance among oil paintings in the early 20th century as an art form of groundbreaking novelty.
Many of the terms GM and Chrysler are now agreeing to were implemented back in the 90’s by Caterpillar. Caterpiallar took the stance in the 90’s they were no longer to pattern bargain. Nearly 20 years later Cat is extremely profitable and not being held hostage by the Union.
To continue to captitulate to the Union only delays the inevitable and ultimately ruins the viability of the company and the local and Regional economy.
That’s where Michigan is today.
