Yes, I cannot believe the GM workers dont realize they are pricing themselves out of a job. Its not like they are underpaid nor are they under perked. IMHO no excuse for this strike. jdn

When, because of the Unions and the huge cost the companies move their plants offshore, THEN it gives the unions more chances to tell about the evils of the Big Business..... AND because our educational system has been so poor, (to say nothing about the fact that the teachers are unionized themselves).... most of the students never hear about how an actual business runs. Product and/or Service:::::Manufacturing, Marketing/Advertising, Selling, Employees and all the attendant costs, including benefits, vacations, illness, family leave time, etc etc etc, and in the end of things, TAXES, and then, after all that Hopefully, Make a profit of 1-5%.....Maybe if they are lucky. These folks are suicidal. The union won't be satisfied until GM moves all its plants to Mexico
