GM is a biz. They exist to make money. The are loosing money, hence they have to cut cost. The UAW is one of the largest contributers to the red for them. Guess where their going to try to cut.

And I don't want to hear any more **** about "sending people to Iraq and stuffing their ass with hand grenades". In case you didn't realise, there are a lot of people in Iraq on this board.
you know about 90% of this fight is to keep jobs in america.

not to offend you but really, anyone can join. and i have more important obligations. the war to me, is pointless, should of nuked them and made it a big Kittie litter box. and no, i wont neg rep you, and i havent neg rep'd anyone in this thread. theres no point.

This thread needs to be locked so i dont open my mouth to mr.army man anymore...=)

Its different because we're not wishing bodily harm upon you or your union brethren. Not a single person in this thread has mentioned that union workers should be killed for being in a union. Those of us who serve and fight for YOUR RIGHT to join that union are taking offense in how you're using our situation as an insult for those who don't see your point of view. Like I said before, you believe so strongly in the unions rights? ENLIST! Pick up a rifle and FIGHT for what you believe so strongly in!

Um.. So ya..! all the equipment your using to keep your self safe in "the iraq" was probably made by a union, So lets not try to bite the hand that feeds you eh....

Without unions you would be driving around there in a KIA...

Some food for thought..!

Whether it was made by a union or not has absolutely no bearing on this at all. Anyone could have made it, as long as it works, we'll use it in the field. Biting the hand that feeds us would be us taking up arms against our government, not argueing about a union.

Not going to neg rep me? You already did man. Along with pretty much every "Pro Union" person active in this thread. But who cares really?

Oh GOWD! I got a NEG REP! OH, I'm soooooooooooo Sorry for hating Unions! Grow up. I've already seen Unions cause far more harm then good, getting several plants shut down, made lots of people loose their jobs and homes.

But hey, you can throw all the **** at me you want. Guess what though, I'm still the one who defends your right to throw that **** at me. It's the blood of my brothers and sisters that stains the ground to allow you to bitch and whine and moan.

I'm done with this, I need to get some food before I have to go hungry for the day.

Doens't matter who you're talking to, thats the beautiful thing about a FORUM, I can respond to anyone who I feel I need to respond to. There is no ABC conversations in a forum, unless it's through PM. And I respect you for understanding what we do is difficult. But before someone uses what we do as an insult, they need to realize we're the ones who fought to give them that "right to organize"
