It's the Union's 10 billion dollar pension GM is having trouble paying. The union won't back off its contracts so it looks like its going to be the union that kills GM. Ultimately all the workers they say they support will be JOBLESS. How does that make any sense? The airline union bankrupt the airlines (Delta) until they decided to back off their contract.
I just don't get putting a business out of business just to say you are for the worker. I'll take the work thank you..
All it does in the end is inflate the cost of doing business. and ultimately raises the price of the goods.
And that "job security" thing. All that is for now is so a company can't be efficient. They can't get rid of dead wood like they should. That is the biggest problem now days. A company gets too fat because they have to carry hundreds if not thousands of workers that are inept or have learned they are protected and don't have to produce. Thus leaving companies to hire more people who want to do some work. UNTILL the new guy gets beat down (by existing workers) for working too fast and making it look like everyone else is working slow. Then the new worker slows down to "conform". Thus the cycle starts all over.
GM could do with a big house cleaning but can't....
I know, I have been on both sides of the fence.....
