UAW is now on strike
I was just watching the news up here in Youngstown and, there's a press conference going on right now about it. The union workers are on strike. Which means production will be at a standstill. When I get more news, I will post it.

Yeah! Lets move all of our manufacturing jobs to Mexico! Last one to the border is a roten egg!
One more reason to close up all the plants here and ship the jobs south of the border, when will the UAW learn? When we have no jobs left. *shakes head*

My mom just sent me an email. My dad is on strike too at the Flint, MI die making plant.
I sent another email to my uncle to put my STS on hold so i can help my parents out w/ this.
She said its looking like this may be a long strike.

Or use it in place of TP cause thats all its worth anymore.
And the unions wonder why all the jobs are being out sorced. What morons. *shakes head* I predict that within I'll say 10 to 15 years we'll have NO manufacturing jobs left in this country. Why to go unions! Stay strong, be proud, and jobless and homeless! WOO HOO!

no because they are getting rid of health care. before you open your mouths, know the story. there are alot of hard working people out at GM. my father is tool and die, and work 12 hour days 6 days a week. yes the money is nice, but there are hard working people. just because they make more than you, and you think because you get paid minimum wage you work harder... your wrong. you can argue the points I've made all you want. but bottom line is there are people that bust there asses to make the cars YOU take for granted.

im just speechless about this whole thing. in a sense, i think we should close plants and ship them out to other countries, but then again that is hurting the american economy cuz then unemployment rates will just shoot up again.
but then again, these UAW **** are so damn greedy. the majority of them work on assembly lines, give 40 hrs a week, and lunch breaks.... they already get paid decent salaries for doing a job that just about anyone can learn, (hence why we can ship plants to places like mexico/asia and they still succeed)its time for them to stop being so damn greedy. o yea and did i mention they pretty much get all benifits paid for!!!!

Unions where once needed, and now they are just ridiculous. I have a lot of friends that work here in the KC plant and if you even try to have this conversation... well lets just say it gets real ugly.

Those "Hard Workers" are sinking GM but you really can't see that because you're biased.

i'd like to see you build 3 cars every minute and make them all perfect, with no flaws. and thats why they have warranties, to fix problems, i'd suggest using it.

Oh yes, those damned unions, they are sinking this country... we need to go back to when our country was the strongest, right around WW2 time.... when we had no unions.... err WAIT A MINUTE - THERE WERE MORE, GENERALLY STRONGER UNIONS AROUND THE TIME WHEN OUR COUNTRY WAS THE BEST THAN THERE ARE NOW WHEN OUR COUNTRY IS ****.... so okay, fucktards, get your history straight.
Yes, unions are generally greedy - HOWEVER the corporations they fight against are at least as greedy, so its a tug of war. If there were no unions, there would be a SHITLOAD more people working for Wal-*******-Mart, making minimum wage. Suck it.
