[QUOTE="2big4akdx, post: 1336650, member: 23909"] Whew...long read. Don't get much time on here, but I need to make some comments. I work for GM, therefore I am a member of the UAW. And those of you who make the general claim auto workers are lazy and greedy are wrong. I and most of the people I work with are hard working, and we do care about the quality of our work. There are some , as in any workplace, that don't want to, and I, along with those I work with don't like it any more than you would. I am with you that think those who do not want to work, or just don't show up should be fired and replaced with people the want to work. I know there are many out there that would love to have my job. We know we make good money and have great benifits, which is why most of us do work hard,care about the quality of our work, and are working hard to improve that which we can control. Generaly stating that auto workers are lazy is like saying people on SSI are too lazy to work and auto mechanics are cheats. I know that's not true and so do you. Greedy?? Auto workers are more than willing to open our wallets when groups have fundraisers or local communities and charities ask for help. Don't call us greedy because we make the money we make. And I believe there are many who would take a pay cut, along with other cuts, to save their jobs. Like I said, I don't believe in everything the union stands for.( I may take alot of heat for this from some members, but this is what I believe and I really don't care what some of them think.) And here's something to think about. Mr Wagner, over the year 07,(havn't worked out 08 figures yet, and I know he is working for $1 now) made more money in two weeks than I'v made since I'v been at GM...6 yrs. I also think that GM builds great autos...I better belive that. I have owned GM most of my life and have had no major problems. Nothing enough to make me buy a transplant. Both my vehicles I currently own have over 140,000 miles on them. The one I gave my daughter now has 128,000. And the one we totaled out a few years back had 158,000 on it. All with nothing but regular maintenace(brakes, oil/lube, tires,mufflers,etc) and a few minor repairs(window regulators, belt tensioner bearing,front wheel bearing) There may be more than I can not think of now, and I am sure there are. But I will continue to buy American make automobles in the future. If you think along the lines that if the D3 fail, transplants could take over thier plants and we could work for them, I guess that could happen. But how about we all buy D3 autos, transplants could close shop, those people come work for us, and D3 can pay back loans. Win, win, win. You want you money back, buy american. [/QUOTE]
