My uncle has worked at the Ford plant forever, and if I remember right, they were paying him 95% of his pay to NOT come to work. They just didn’t need him. He would stay home most of the summer laying by the pool or getting ripped at the golf course. When the retirement deals came out last year, he thought about it and declined, he didn’t want to give up a job like that.
Same uncle who borrowed my dad’s butter yellow 1983 AMC Eagle wagon to drive to work for a week, even though my dad offered him his '02 Civic. He wouldn’t drive the Honda, but the Eagle with the hatch duct-taped shut was just fine:mamoru:

Its funny you say that because right before i quit curtis screw they were in trouble, (they still are but whenever for and gm are in trouble so are they obviously). But they were high on toyotas list for a few new parts for the camry transmission and if we got that job it wouldve pretty much been smooth sailin for a while. Well every single union employee would not shut up about how they aint makin shit for those jap fucks and they can take their bussiness elsewhere and blah blah blah. So am i getting this right, they would rather be unemployed than make parts for a japanese car company? Damn those are some strong beliefs
when management and “labor” are so strongly diveded, it does no good.
all the quality initives and efficiency programs have to do 2x the work to get 1/2 the result. things go soooo much smoother when its not us vs. them.

why make parts for another company when you can get paid the same not to?
lol
where did boobee go?
maybe he is researching why companies outside the US for less expensive parts… oh yeah, theres no UAW.
I remember our shop’s Union guys coming back from a meeting going “why do the Union leaders have to fuck a good thing up for us” They were commenting on the fact that they (the workers) were content, but the Union “representatives” wanted more. :bloated:
LOL at unions that like you said screw it up by wanting way too much. Sad because i do believe in the system but not the way it is practiced at all. Maybe it should just be gone i guess. And the CEO bashing guy hahahahaha. Do you know what it takes to get there. Its not like the CEO just woke up a CEO he earned that position. Some fucking asshat doing nothing for 25+hr isnt earning crap.
