whatever it takes to break the unions hold on gm and chrysler, we should do. it costs gm $2400 more per car to cover pensions and benefits than it costs japanese carsmakers. why should gm now be penalized for gross stupidity on the part of management for caving in to unions over the last 50 years?
unions murder people who disagree with them, the bosses live like billionaires by siphoning off millions from union dues every month for their own use. they take millions to elect crooked politicians who will do whatever they are told to do and vote for by the bosses.
the unions decide which cars gm can build, where and for how long each year. the unions have been running the company for years. including benefits, which are medical insurance for life for their kids, and grandkids, the gm union retirees are given 100K to 140K for the rest of their lives.
their jobs are not worth more than $8 per hour and could be done by machines like toyota, nissan and honda build their cars; and we are supposed to feel sorry for these employees. the AMERICAN people should go on strike against any car built in AMERICA by these evil unions.
