Auto Bailout?

And the unions are a MAJOR PART OF THE PRObLEM

I mean they got guys making $75 an hour turning screws. I mean come on, thats rediculous.

You should get paid what you are WORTH, no more, no less. If you are the best damn screw turner in the history of GM, you are still a SCREW TURNER.

Sounds cold, but when did we start rewarding mediocracy? We need blue collar workers, and i love an thank them for the job they are doing, but that doesnt mean you should make $80,000 a year when you should be making $40,000.

Now if the company is doing well and can afford it, sure go for it, but when you are losing money, you HAVE TO TRIM THE FAT, period.

That is GM exact problem. They don't understand where the money needs to go. It is far more expensive to pay the guy than to make the car.

You people need to all realize that if this goes through, it would again be more taxes that are unjust. I shouldn't have to pay taxes for something i don't believe in.

This goes right along with my post. I understand the role unions played in getting workers their rights and safe work conditions etc. but, do they play an important and reasonable role in today's work environment?
