You just want to see what some bankruptcy judge would do to union
contracts.
Direct labor costs are only @10% of the cost of building a car. If you
want to cut costs, labor isn't the place to start.


............... and assuming that the assembly line workers are being paid
twice what they are worth (according to some here), that means only 5% of
the overall costs could be saved by attacking union workers and cutting
their renumeration by half.
I wonder what advertising cost the Big Three? It must be expensive hiring
agencys to make up new bull**** every year.

It doesn't matter how many you make or how much it costs you to make
them if nobody knows you have them.

My company is over paying for a lease on a building that faces a major
interstate highway, our name is on top of the building. 250 thousand
people in government, government contracting and private industry see
our building and our sign everyday on their way to work and on their way
home from work. It is great advertising. Besides the people we have
working in the build have to work somewhere.
