God, every time I hear someone whelping about union jobs, I want to retch. Seriously. Unions have done more to destroy the competitive backbone of this country than nearly any other force.
GM went to wrack and ruin because of the unions (and, yes, completely inept management).[/quote]
Really?
Toyota and VW and BMW pay almost equivalent wages within a couple of
points.
Toyota and Honda and Daimler ahve reputations for quality because
they have poured serious money into quality.
Sure those UAW guys are shitheads, but their managers were worse.[/quote]
Pat: Which is why my quote specifically mentions the inept management.
For real shits and giggles, check out the GM “30 and Out” policy. It wrecked the company and gave birth to the joke that GM wound up as an insurance company that just happened to also build cars.
Add unions to clueless morons like Roger Smith and you put a world leading corporation like GM into the ditch.
