Here's what I don't understand.
To the best of my knowledge, only 12 percent of the total American
workforce is Union. Obviously the number of union auto workers is a
much smaller percentage.
So, Obama thinks that the taxpayers should cough up $50B to save the
jobs of a relatively small percentage of the workforce?
What about the millions of people working in non-union small
businesses? They are being affected by the economic slowdown as much
as the auto industry's union workers. Are they going to get a
dedicated and specific bailout as well to keep the companies they work
for in business?
Those unfortunate enough to get laid off due to work slow downs
typically apply for unemployment benefits and try to find a new job.
Why do the employees of GM, Ford and Chrysler deserve more consideration?
Is this part of the "share the wealth" plan?

Union protection is just glorified welfare for those who don't want to

on the working end of the table, I saw it all the time. The union
going to bat for lazy bitches who wreren't worth 2 dollars an hour.
And before our resident asshole says anything, I was the smallest guy
in the shop of over 350 men, and never had a week where I was not in
the top ten percent of production. BTW, the union hated guys like me,
used to come to some of us and "ask" us to slow down to spare the bums
having to do a days work, for a days pay...



Bull****.

I'm sure you are just the kind of rat who sells out your fellow workers

Heard on the radio today $100,000,000 was contributed to Democrat
politicians this election cycle. $10,000,000 to Republicans. Payback time.

Even now at my advanced age and seniority in the company, my boss has to
tell me to slow down take some time off, stop working so hard. Pass some
work off to the younger guys, let them work through the problems and come
to you if they need help. I can't help myself. I am a producer.



Heh. Maybe, but you haven't understood the message.
You're being phased out.

Your boss is right. Too many people, some young, but mostly the older group
tend to "protect" their value by keeping knowledge to themselves. What they
don't realize is that they can be much more valuable by teaching and sharing
that knowledge to a group of people, thereby multipying their value's worth
and benefit many, many times.
