    That would be in GM's best interest if it were gone... could get serious and sell some cars/trucks now! Move all production to ''free to work'' states and never look back!!!!

    Unions are and should be in the past..........they did build what we have, but they have also damaged what we are facing now.

    But GM, some goes to pay for Mexican built motors, or other country for parts. It's not 100% staying in the US...same as purchasing a Tundra, they are built in the US.
    Love my Yukon, but have bought Nissans for cars for 10 years.

    without unions ppl wouldnt be paid what is fair. companies least up here dont pay you for squat for a skill. they think you should make 10hr to be an electrician. without union wages top rate for an electrician is about 15hr. sorry in todays world 15hr cant get you far at all. You complain about benefits and etc. use your 15 hr then take benefits out of it. after al lsaid and done you now make 9hr...answer me...how can you support yourself rather alone a family? dont say have wife work cause then it takes 2 ppl to make combined 20hr.... Unions allow for familys to survive by paying individuals what they are worth for the skill.

    you have these desk jockeys making more money then a skill.. sorry any smoe can sit behind a desk and surf LS1truck, PT, LS1tech, hardcore and blah blah. most dont do their jobs they sit and goof off in a cubicle.

    i have never once been a stranger to working 12hr shifts, ive worked a 21 turn with 12hr shifts. No sweat off my back so dont say all ppl that are for unions are lazy. I do hate how some work the system.

    unions are needed but management needs rethought. it seems like you southerners hate unions but at same time have the mentality to support confedercy. The more im on this site the more i see how southerns have totally different outlook on things vs how we see things up here.

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
