re: #239 albusteve

the entire industry is at the mercy of the unions…GM is still in very bad shape and will be for the forseeable future

Being in and around that industry for the last 26 years, you might be surprised to know how things really are in factories these days. The image of the unions from the 70’s and 80’s is wrong for today’s plants. Long gone are the druggies and alcoholics and people who skip work or skip operations like the legends of old. I could tell horror stories from back in the day. But its serious business these days. The union sells the loser fuck-ups down the river, they want them gone as much as management does.
