they had a call in show on morning radio here in grand rapids, a GM worker called in and said he had not gone to work in 13 years and still gets his paycheck in the mail every week, Gm stopped production of a product in the plant that he worked in and the union contract states if there is not a job in his field within a 125 mile radias of his home he is able to collect his pay until they do, This guy thinks its funny, and they say GM is greedy at contract time, give me a break, I work at a union job and at times you tend to look at the union and shake your head for a severe lack of common sence, I know of several GM workers that play cards and read every day at work and collect 30+ dollars an hour plus bennies, alot of people are willing to bend but the union won't, I can understand when it comes to retied peoples benefits, they made a desision based on a promise and its going to be hard to take that back,
