Default Re: GM Workers on Strike

I didn't see any mention of keeping production in North America. The unions controlling our money/benefits. Someone had better keep a close eye on the money. It always amazes me to see people get ugly when someone makes a decent wage. A little bit of jealousy? I made decent wages for a lot of years. I, like many others, spent it locally and helped everyone around here. I'd hate to see the locally economy without the GM input. The numbers seem to show that the very rich are rapidly getting richer and the rest of us are getting poorer. Thanks to the WTO (Super rich) we are being played off agains the Chinese and others with their 25-50 cents an hour wages. The Canadian Auto Workers Union has been pushing for Fair Trade as opposed to Free Trade. When these countries want to freely sell their products here, but block our products in their market, something is wrong. The next few years are going to be interesting.
