GM just announced some major cuts. http://money.cnn.com/2008/07/15/news/companies/GM/index.htm?postversion=2008071512
The Corvette forum is awash in how GM is sticking it to the little guy when times get hard.
What I want to ask them, and I cannot ask them there for fear of being banned, is; "Do you own a car that isn't a GM? Isn't from an American brand?" Because if the answer to either question is yes, they are part of the problem that GM has. GM didn't fuck the little guy, YOU DID!
And in point of fact, GM cannot take care of their largest problem, the unions. What this round of lay-offs will do is flood the engineering job market. They are taking this out on white collar only, in jobs and pensions.
What GM should do is file bankruptcy. That would allow them to address all of their problems, not just the white collar ones (which prolly wouldn't be a problem without the UAW albatross around its neck).
I think the idea of a union is a fine thing. The reality of unions is they ask for too much. Did I say ask? Extortion is the term for the way they do business in any other situation.
