You get to work at half speed, can do whatever the hell you want and not worry about getting fired, and generally do nothing at work and get paid well to do it. On the flip side, employers have to pay a crapload of money for subpar work and be excected to stay competitive. It’s the reason the Port Authority is going under and why the auto manufacturers are going under. ---

its funny cause i go to chrysler school up at ccac along with the ford and gm kids and the big talk the last couple of weeks was that GM is buying chrysler but now it turns out GM is 29 billion in debt and is on the merge of bankruptcy.Not that chrysler is behind i believe they are 9 billion in debt.I really doubt GM is “buying” anyone right now.if the government steps in then the big three might be united which i hope to god not…But i have a feeling Chrysler is staying independtent. I guess if all three united we could call them AMC. ---

As I have said before, unions had their place back in the day. They are no longer needed. Truth… Unions ran the steel industry out of the USA and now the automobile industry. you would of thought the unions would of learned after the steel industry and the airlines. but they don’t they are all comfy in their beds made of cardboard in the rafters… I managed 42 union employees and I was non-union… you get a good idea of the mentality when you do that first hand. ---
