When was the last time you worked for a living?

Every night, asshole. I haul the cars after they're made...but you
dont remember that, do you, Mr Sock Puppet.
The " Temp " office not called lately?

Here's a serious question for you. All of the dealers around here are
busting at the seams with 08 and 09 cars. Some places will give you a
free car if you buy one. They won't take trades unless they can
wholesale them out. So where are you "hauling" all these new cars that
are falling off the assembly lines? When and if GM gets infused with
free bailout money, what are they going to do with it? Cant build many
more new cars till they find some buyers somewhere. Can't use it for
retooling. They don't have new designs ready for market. Can't pay out
ridiculous bonuses. We're watching now. They could throw it away on
union benefits to the union folks that don't need to come to work
anymore because of layoffs. Only problem with that is there is no return
on investment. Folks that are at will employees are having a hard time
with that idea. Why should they pay the union guy 95% of his pay for
doing nothing when they are working 2 or 3 jobs to keep their own heads
above water?
Sorry! The time of unions is over. Update your CV.
