I've Never Been A Union Worker.dont Know Much About It. I Know Union Workiers Make A Heck Of A Lot More $$$ Than I Do.
And When The Union Leaders Decide Every One Needs A Raise,
They Get It.
Because If They Dont They Will Strike.
I Cant Do That At My Job. My Boss Will Laugh And Say Your Fired.
What Is Wrong Here.

Well the auto industry is going to get there $17B but there are some rules they are going to have to follow. I believe one of them is the ceos, workers salaries will be cut. No more $30 a hour. UAW has already been blessed all these years so they shouldn't complain.

I disagree with american cars not lasting as long. I just sold a Crown Victoria in the spring with 310,000 miles on it and never opened the engine or trans. Yes the rearend was starting to howl and the fuel pump was on the outs but I think that is a well built car. I have been watching them on ebay and see many for sale close to the 200 mark still running good. Its not 1970 and they do build alot better car now.

All I have to say is this... my neighbor, his wife and I was talking about the situation the USA is under yesterday. I brought up this very topic and I asked his wife "Which one would you buy if you had to choose between a brand new Chevy/Ford/Chrysler or a brand new Honda?" She said "Honda". Her husband said Honda also.

My co-worker bought his wife a Chevy Corsica about 8 yrs ago.... the radiator cracked, the trans went out, and there was something else but can't remember. I had to help cover for him while he would have to leave work and help his wife or take the car in to get it fixed first thing in the morning. He bought his wife a Honda suv this year. We of course have had long talks about the economy on breaks and lunch. He said word for word " I will never buy another American made vehicle."

I mean the Hondas, Toyotas, may be assembled here in America but it's just the thought that people have between Chevy/Ford/Chrysler.
