Actually, I'd say pretty darn close.... those auto workers and auto union members were living the life of Reiley... little wonder why our cars cost so damn much, we're paying for their second and third home in the country... GZ

Hi Hawk, Wagonner worked one of the largest corporations for a pittance compared to others. He inherited a basketcase of union whoring and tried the "get along approach" vs the "go to war" approach. Sadly he never busted the union and the company was busted. His perks are miniscule relative to peers. JMHO Bob Do NOT be fooled by the small government assistance of "TAX PAYERS MONEY"(which will be paid back. Had GM busted the union, the pension benefit guarantee and unemployment benefits would have dwarfed to assistance that the government would have paid out over the long term. Don't buy all the crap the media feeds you. Bob
