GM Workers on Strike

[427king]

Sam, I was overseas for 8 years and at the time each outfit was allowed to hire under contract 2 foreigners.At the time the foreigners were made up of 99.9 Americans for three reasons. We were the best players,we would draw the biggest crowds,and it was a prestige thing for the Europeans to bring in Americans. As time went on,more and more Yugoslavians/Russians and the like were preferred as they didnt have the lavish demands Americans did,would work for 1/3 of what we would, and would work with no guaranteed contracts and a handshake instead of a contract as they were in third world countries. As tie went on, the europeans became as good as we americans and they now made up around 50% of the foreign workforce. If a company has loads of money thye can afford what they want,otherwise its a tradeoff for less prestige and ability VS cheaper labor. Same concept/ I decided rather than play without a guaranteed contract to retire and sell you guys parts
