Default Re: GM Workers on Strike

Because it's *never* an even playing field, fastvelle...the USA is held to a higher standard than any other country in the world, right or wrong...but that's leaving too many concessions to countries that are now competitors, and it's biting us in the rear.

Schonye: I don't blame you a bit! I'd have done the same thing...sounds familiar to the locals & the railroad around this country. I keep telling the younger hirees to cash in while they can, get the benefits, pay for a house and/or land, while they can. Because who knows what can/will happen down the road? But it seems to me like there has to be a point of diminishing return with the employees (management & labor both) asking for more while business/profits are taking a dive?
