While their may be some people out their that work for a union and actually deserve their pay, their are also many people that take advantage of the system. The UAW forces these companies to pay their employees for a job were they do not have to prove their performance. Their paycheckes are guaranteed, if not the UAW takes that company to court. To me this is bs and unfare not only to the company, but also their county and even me. That is why I'm so pissed. GM had the chance to stand up for what they are. Yeah, it would have been a hefty blow. At the same time, they could have washed their hands of the UAW. I for one am sick of seeing somone get compensated for doing a half ass job.

I'm a physician, although no one believes it on this board. I couldn't care less, though. As long as your collective moms love my humungous cock, I'm cool with anything!!! “Deanster, perhaps your best post. I’m impressed. However, the only question I find myself asking is, are you a male nurse???

Thank you, and no I’m not a male nurse. I’m a physician, although no one believes it on this board. I couldn’t care less, though. As long as your collective moms love my humungous cock, I’m cool with anything!!!

Non-union labor can't build a quality car to save their life. Look at the Foriegn garbage from Japan and Europe for example. They tried to build crap here in the states without union labor and they're all notorious for being complete shitboxes. Meanwhile GM vehicles built by skilled union workers are building cars that run forever and never have problems.

I say temporary because I see a scandal of Enronian proportions, perhaps larger, in the near future. The struggle in 4 years will be rejecting the UAW's request for a massive wage increase to counteract the pilfering and mismanagement of the fund. However, in the meantime they'll be more nimble without the burden of a $50Billion parasite effecting business decisions. Either way, this is a big temporary win for GM.

They're a software developer with less than a 1% employee turnover rate. They pay average market rate salaries, but the CEO treats his employees like the gold they are. On site day care at a heavily reduced cost. On site doctors for free check ups and prescriptions for common ailments. Free on site auto service for detailing and oil changes. On site chefs, etc... Whether or not Toyota employs this type of benefits package, I don't know. But it is the new way of business. Google has very similar practices. I just don't see how comparing a Toyota plant and a GM plant in the way he did explains his view of GM wimping out.

However, all the UAW stupidity does not add up to big three management luck of professionalism. They simply lost their way in building cars. There are bright spots here and there on management landscape, but the overall picture is bleak. Start with hideous looking cars from design studio that no one has manhood to call ugly to poorly developed components and even names of cars are confusing. Look at Ford: what is their main sedan is it 500 or Taurus? How long it took for GM to figure out that Ions are plain ugly? Do you really need to be an expert to see that? Who can name next great GM car/truck or anything with wheels? Volt? When it will be ready? Is it beautiful? I don't think so, but lets wait till it comes out and endorsed by public. Deanster, great post, albeit above average comprehension level. Since I seen the same picture at 2 out of big three and pretty decent Japanese plants, I concur with jdasch1.

The problem is the union contracts often protect the habitual offenders, instead of firing them and hiring people who are willing to work.

I'm a changed man. The GM plant had men with large whips giving the workers lashes while they worked in knee deep raw sewage. They were forced to eat small portions of stale bread for their two minute lunch breaks and their children were sold into slavery if they didn't build at least 20 cars a day. I cried as they beheaded two workers for being late to work. The Toyota plant was filled with rivers of milk and honey. The men built cars on clouds made of sweet snow you could eat while beautiful strippers danced for them during their two hour lunch break. Their children were receiving Ivy League educations during work hours too. As they left the factory each worker was given a sack full of gifts and prizes and money and eternal happiness. Jesus showed up and healed a few folks too. It was amazing. F*CK YOU GM!!!!! Hey guys, I followed jdasch1′s advice and quickly visited a GM plant and a Toyota plant this morning. I’m a changed man.
