2014 GM trucks recalled. DON'T DRIVE!

[Diamondpilot]

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what any of us think, just the facts.

Fact, GM took a bailout.

Fact, GM had major quality issues the lead to poor economic performance and now has them in real trouble.

Again, proof American workers build Junk just like Chinese workers, Japanese workers, Indian workers. BUT, at least when you buy American Junk the money stays in the USA and all that Union overtime pay to fix what the great Union workers did not do right in the first place will gin up the economy. What's that saying Union Proud, hey Union boys, you proud today that your Union brothers will probably kill someone. So it looks like we do have some shovel ready jobs after all.

It is best to ignore posts like his, he is just trying to stir up a pointless argument. Anyone that can read a news paper or understand a news cast knows what brought down GM, one word, leadership (lack of).

Nah, I'm out. I wouldn't want to rile up the oracle:

>oracle noun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Source of a divine communication delivered in response to a petitioner's request. Ancient Greece and Rome had many oracles. The most famous was that of Apollo at Delphi, where the medium was a woman over 50 called the Pythia. After bathing in the Castalian spring, she apparently would descend into a basement cell, mount a sacred tripod, and chew the leaves of the laurel, sacred to Apollo. Her utterances, which were often highly ambiguous, were interpreted by priests. Other oracles, including those at Claros (Apollo), Amphicleia (Dionysus), Olympia (Zeus), and Epidaurus (Asclepius), were consulted through various other methods; for example, the oldest of the oracles, that of Zeus at Dodona, spoke through the whispering of the leaves of a sacred oak. At some shrines, the inquirer would sleep in the holy precinct and receive an answer in a dream.<<

You couldn't have done your job without the union? Its a two way street... If the unions can take credit during the good times, they can shoulder some troubles in the bad times. Was it not highly paid, powerful union labor that built all of those deadly cars?

Ya I hear ya.Why not address the HIGH PAID CEO,S & VP,s and engineers that helped get GM into this position.Do you think the CEO could do his job for a few Million less?Who designed the cars & trucks union workers?Heck no maybe a high payed engnineer?I am sure they would shoulder some of the blame and take pay cuts.LOL.It always rolls down hill to the workers.No accountability at the top of the food chain.(PS) any day/night you would like to climb a 150-200 ft transmission tower or put your climbing belt and hooks on and climb a 90 ft.icey pole in the middle of the night and then you can tell me I did not earn very dime I made.

I would doubt, that anyone thinks a good lineman does not earn every dollar they make, probably more!

I think there is a growing number of us that think you could do a better job without the unions.

Unions did once have their place, they may still have a small place in America, but nothing to where they still sit.

And I have been a member of 2 unions, and I have gone through their indoctrination classes. Most of my family has been union workers or officials all their lives.

I have seen a multitude of times when the union was able to bring the worst of the worst employees back to work, when there was absolutely NO good reason they should still have a job.

My family union members are very proud of that fact!
:confused3:

That is my two cents worth
