Congrats to the UAW.

You have succeeded in striking yourselves right out of a job.

Gee… seems someone said this a month ago.

Now 400SSdonkeys will move to Mexico and become hated immigrant (:

A simple logic that everyone not in a union already knows. You cause enough trouble – you loose your job. Fools lead by fools.

Sad day in the US when we’re celebrating the loss of american jobs, don’t you think?

Injunraiv, I agree. They did whine and complain themselves out of a job, but I still don’t want to see them lose their jobs. When will these guys learn?

I celebrate the loss of US jobs when they are led by extortionist unions such as the UAW. The UAW needs to get a clue, but often they are too dumb and pig headed to get it. Sometimes it takes something like this to wake them up and smell the coffee.

What were they thinking when they decided to strike plants that produce axles for a market segment that is sinking faster than a rock!?! I think the failure of this strike is why the UAW is ratcheting up pressure for local contracts at other GM plants that produce cars.

Learning defined as “The act, process, or experience of gaining knowledge or skill.” That is against UAW principals. By the same token everybody is ecstatics when there are troubles with foreign manufacturers, albeit majority of “jap” cars sold in US are made in US by American workers. This is consolation for those who write “the profits go overseas” – well GM’s profits (if any as well as Ford’s and Chrysler’s) will STAY here in pockets of Lutz, Wagoner, Ford etc, but jobs are gone. As well as paychecks, taxes on paychecks and goods those paychecks would by. Those goods may be produced by you and I.

I have no sympathy for the guys. They saw it coming 100 miles away. Gas prices are up… demand for trucks and SUVs is down… ofcourse GM is going to cut production. They just forced GM into doing it a little bit early, which is probably best in the long run.

I’m not celebrating the loss of jobs… I’m celebrating another nail in the coffin of an unfair union run by greedy idiots.

I’d rather not see the jobs go to Mexico. I know there are plenty of red blooded americans willing to do the jobs for whatever pay they can get… but they can’t b/c of the unions.

Check mate.
.
Injunraiv, I’d prefer the jobs to stay in USA and don’t celebrate the loss, but look at it from GM’s side: to stay in the USA they have to deal with the UAW; to source foreign parts they do not. You telling me you would do anything differently? Gimme a break.

Greedy bastards! Thats why GM will never make money again.

“to stay in the USA they have to deal with the UAW”

Funny, none of the four Honda assembly plants in OH are UAW shops.

If you keep your workers happy, you don’t “HAVE” to deal with the UAW… Honda should be proof of that.

If the UAW ever does to Honda what it’s doing to GM, they’ll do with their car plants what they’re doing with their motorcycle plant – move it back to Japan and nobody there will have jobs.

GM has proved time and time again that they’re just going to move **** to Canada or Mexico, or get cars from Europe or Australia so they don’t have to deal with the UAW. The UAW is killing American jobs because of this, and the stupid rednecks behind the UAW are letting it happen. I don’t feel sorry for them one bit.

You know what, I used to work for an automotive company. We supplied front and rear sub-frames to Nissan as our main customer, and a few to honda. It was the WORST job I have ever had, and I was an engineer there! Your there for 11-14 hours a day on a regular basis, programming, designing tooling, plus a million other things sp people can build the assembly line the right way and build the part according to your customer’s specs. Your pay NEVER increased, but the heads at our company increased theirs! Because the auto industry has ups and downs, and I was working in it during a downturn. But, they sure as hell increase your workload. So do I think unions suck? Most of the time. But, I think they keep crap like 70hour weeks from happening then coming in on sat and sun getting 1

damn buttons, anyway, getting 1 or 2 days off a month. But I think they have it too good now and are just being cry babies. I am sure the guys that work for other manufacturer’s that supply to honda and toyota are just as pissed, maybe they just realize that a union is like a mold growth that just doesn’t stop growing until it destroy’s itself.

Just how big is Mexico becoming as a manufacturing centre? Whether it’s by intent or as a direct result of action like this, there sure seems to be a lot of business headed their way these days. And with the dollar at or near par it’s sure not coming up to my neck of the woods anytime soon. Union workers in the US and Canada are treading on some pretty soft ground right now. So soft they’re getting stuck in the mud and left behind. At least the CAW had the sense to settle with Ford quickly and I suspect they won’t put up much of a fight with GM and Chrysler either when the time comes. Does that make the CAW smarter than certain factions of the UAW? I don’t know, but at least they seem to have enough sense to cover their asses before someone kisses their buts goodbye.

Goodjob UAW, you greedy idiots are losing your jobs. Its actually going to make me happy seeing you unemployed selfish fools who have little education to begin with trying to find a job that pays half of what you used to earn. With gas being so expensive now, and getting even more expensive, food getting more expensive, you guys are screwed and you did it to yourselves. Don’t expect sympathy from anyone.

Well now we know the source of hatred by HeriRetardRunner:
1. trying to perform work of manager/engineer with insufficient education and abilities.
2. producing parts for Nissan/Honda and not being able to produce crap, cause of their supplier controls.
3. upbringing in violent and hateful environment (your typical white trash family: drunk father even more intoxicated mother fighting and screwing in view of their genetic soup).

Those pictures don’t come to mind when you are looking at Toyonda factories and their training programs for employees. But thanks god they provide income for our overachievers instead of welfare.
Nobody whines about 70 hours week in Tokyo – it is a holiday. Same for Silicon Valley or Rt. 128 in Boston.

Well, here’s the “expert” again that knows everything about me and the workforce. When are you finally going to gt a job? Oh, and your moms cold body doesn’t bother me that much.

I happen to be damn good at my job, and I have the awards to prove it, but I wasn’t content being an engineer working over 70 hours a week. Go slob on some jap knob.

I happen to be damn good at my job, and I have the awards to prove it, but I wasn’t content being an engineer working over 70 hours a week. Go slob on some jap knob. I bet you never even stepped foot in a toyota or honda factory or a suppliers of theirs, so what would you even know. I know if I asked you how the stockroom looked in the 7-11 you’d know, but you wouldn’t admit it. Now go play some more on your computer, I have work to do.

If Hemi is an engineer, than this is just proof why american made cars are garbage. just look at what kind of ignorant bitter idiots are designing domestic cars. And hemi talks like he doesn’t care about comments about him yet he feels the need to add 3 posts after someone made a post that contained valid facts which he does not like about himself lol

Valid facts? Yeah sure. I guess this is where geeks come to unite. I really don’t care about comments about me, I think I’ll be just fine. It’s just funny a bunch of nerds like yourselves, with no job, no money, no women, nothing but you right hand get on here and post $H!T. It gives me a break from work throughout the day, I like it.

lol clearly you do care lol Your inferiority complex amuses us all. Go design something that will break lol

HemiRetardRunner, you can’t even use keyboard, you useless monkey. There are 2 posts you restarting due to your mental retardation. Of course you have awards – they do give them to Gery’s kids in Florida each Labor Day marathon!

What work are you doing? You all day on this site! all day long, even more then I am!

Going from $26/hour to $15/hour would be a big hit for anybody and none of us would be happy about it. If it happened to me though, I would continue to work there just long enough to find a better or better paying job.

The minimum wage in Mexico is $5/day. The bigger and better plants, probably like AAM in Guanajanto/Leon/Queretaro area start at $20 per day, plus overtime and benefits. An experienced operator who works a lot of overtime can bring home as much as $20,000/year and that’s fat cash. There is one union in Mexico and the rules are different industry to industry, plant to plant.

This may not be true. The H2 plan in South Bend, IN has been shut off for 6 or 7 weeks because of lack of axles (that’s the official excuse).

However, you would think that with an oversupply of trucks, this article could very much be accurate.

lol, All the people hating on the unions are fools. Why dont you just say F… the middle class? Is it really so wrong for someone in a blue collar job to make $75K a year, get 3 weeks a year vaca and a decent retirement. In exchange for a usually monotounous(spelled wrong) job and a lifetime of loyalty.
Keep hating the unions and relishing those jobs at $15.00/hr for BMW and Honda. Your landlords will be thanking you, for the rest of your lives.

Sorry to see Americans losing jobs buut they had to see this coming. Those workers are being blinded by the UAW if they are not getting a clear picture of the current auto market

Nothing wrong with someone in a blue collar job making 75k a year and getting 3 weeks of vacation, just as long as they EARN IT!!!!! What is wrong is when unions protect their lazy buddies who just sit around on the job and don’t do any or half assed work.

Thanks, and I mean this when I say it, “Suck my dick”

And agreed fuzz40, we’re tired of that protectionism **** too.

Parts suppliers are screwed, you cant compete with 3rd world countries.

400ss, why do you want someone to suck your dick?? Especially here where its all guys. You want some guy to suck your dick? If your gay there are other forums you can go to if you want to solicit sex from other men.

Dude, that fact that I can come on here, at WORK, and **** with a bunch of retards like moto ass ****er, xyunya what the ****, and the rest of these faggot asses proves that you all lead a **** hole life of doing absolutely NOTHING! This is probably the funniest **** I have ever seen in my life, a bunch of nerds talking ****. I’m just glad to know that not only did I kick your asses growing up, but I have an engineering job you would kill for and ****ed your sisters on numerous occasions. Keep the insults coming, I’ll check back later.

moto-racer13, some man gave up on women (they could not find opposite sex same species even at 2 A.M. in a bar) and asking other man to fulfill their their physiological needs. Then there are more advanced types: HemiRetardRunner screws a blow doll and calls it my mother. To each his own, nothing wrong with it. Some are gay and some are doll ****ers. Live and let live

Yep

Because some of you men act like women.

xyunya aka Ms. Kwan speak english.

ya know the real person to blame for all this **** about u guys losing jobs cause of high gas pbrices and everything is your own presdent who needs to be shot.

400donkeySS – Mr eloquent with all his 3rd grade education, that he successfully completed in 7 years time. Go screw a nut wrong way, conveyor monkey.

I think it’s hilarious that some people feel that unions are somehow this great guardian of the middle-class. Unions once served a vital role in our society… but that was many years ago before there were any regulations with regard to the workplace here in the US. But these days, many unions (ESPECIALLY the UAW) exist solely for the pockets of the union leadership. When one really thinks about it, unions are some of the most anti-American organizations in this country… it’s an absurd notion that a person be required to join and sign over part of their paycheck to such groups in order to get their paycheck at all… every American worker should have the right to negotiate and deal directly with their employer instead of being required to pay some buffoon (who only cares about his own job, not theirs) to speak for them. It’s bull****… I can and WILL speak for myself… I can and WILL deal directly with my employer. I’ve only ever had one job that was a union job and that lasted for a whole two weeks… I was in highschool and I decided to get a job at the local supermarket… after I started I was told that I HAD to join the union and that I HAD to pay dues to the union whether I wanted to or not… I said I didn’t HAVE to do anything, that there was no way I would, and summarily walked out. There are plenty of middle-class workers that get along just fine without the interference of a union. My own household is a prime example… the wife is a teacher and the AT for a local highschool… she has no say when it comes to getting a raise or a change in benefits or anything, she HAS to have the teacher’s union handle all of it every couple of years (which is extraordinarily pointless because teachers aren’t allowed to strike here). Whereas at my job, once a year I walk into the executive director’s office, examine and summarize the performance and efficiency of my department, and present my case for a raise – usually to the tune of 4-5%… at the end of the month, he takes the request to the board along with my department evaluation and I get my raise. So now, a decade later I make about 20-grand more a year than when I started all because I think and speak for myself… I don’t need some fat, ignorant twat to do it for me.

While I genuinely hate to see any Americans loose their jobs, I feel no sympathy for UAW members because they’re nothing but sheep… and sheep are eventually led to their slaughter. Pretty much nobody wants a pay cut… but even less want no job at all. The best thing a UAW worker could ever do for themselves is to stop eating the BS their union leaders feed to them and realize that they neither deserve nor have a right to their job and that their lucky to have it, but more importantly that the UAW is wholly counterproductive to them keeping their job.

If any of them had even a modicum of common sense, their next strike would be against the UAW.

Or everyone who lost their jobs to ****ty cars can sue the big 2.25.

xanadu or whatever fag name you call yourself on here. Quit the interent tough guy ****. Your a racist **** whom obviously is an Asian little dweeb whom hates America and hates American whites. Shut your ****in fat mouth you little cum swapping transgender **** smooch. You and your butt crushing buddy Motoracerfagboy69, whom is only 24, fresh out of the fraternity, clueless little **** on his first real job. Motofagboy69 thinks because he has a degree and hates anything to do with America including it’s backbone, manufacturing, blue color jobs, farmers, tradesmen, 1st responders, technicians and etc that he is somehow impressing us. You want to impress me motofagboy69, get your dick out of xanadu’s ass. Motofag is probably one of those little fag lickers whom works at a mortgage copmany or sells windows and thinks that his 75,000 a year is something to get excited about. Little queer bastard, you got a lot to learn when you enter the real world and your little easily-replacable white unskilled white collar sales job goes bye-bye because of the economies failure due to the loss of jobs in America.
Xanadu you living at home next door to 1115 drug baby. So does your Mom and 1115 Mom prostitute on the same coner or do they try to hit different corners of town in front of dilapidated carry outs with dudes buying your Mom 40oz bottles of Shlitz in exchange for an Asian nutsack massage? 1115’s fat ass living at home retard’s Mom is known as the **** Cuddler in the trailer park, what do they call your Mom you America hating little **** hole?

^HAHA

I dont trust people who cant eat their food off plates, why do you nasty mother****ers wants to eat a hamburger off some greasy ass bitches butt crack?

xyunya:

Come again?

400horse****ssucked, I think proclaimed yourself to be a fag, Well done homo.

To the rest of the dickriding ass desperados like HemiRingpieceRaider, you can take your “engineering” diploma from DeVry Online “University,” roll it into a tube, and shove it up your ****ing gay torn-to-shreds bunghole. Your stupid unionized shift-monkey card-punching lifestyle is for underachieving losers, so no one’s jealous of anything you’ve “accomplished.” Notice the quotes asshole.

And for all the bull**** hoops you’ve had to jump through, like a circus monkey, to get that inflated 28 bucks an hour protected pay, know that you occupy the lowliest station in life. Even a tranny whore like your dad makes more than that sucking a random dick in an alley. If my salary plummeted to 28 an hour I would stab myself in the stomach and wait to die. Faggot.

RaineMan: you’re spot on, my friend. These bastards were asking for it and now they screwed themselves out of a job. Serves them right for bitchin’ like a gang-raped milf.

Who talks about dicks and ass more than Tugjob…………….

^ You, you fag. Professing to looking for homosexual contact pretty much crowns you the head homo around here.
