450-500 is the breaking point depending on the tune.

doesn't sound like this effects people making the cars, sounds more like its people tossing boxes of ---- in warehouses.

robots make most of the cars anyways

Agree. They had a strike at Boeing here recently. Most of the ***** had a high school education complaining when the starting pay was like $22hr. Yeah some companies need a union to regulate them, but this ---- for unskilled/specialized workers getting paid what a professional does is BS. Like said above, hire some college students for $12hr. Hell I will go apply for $12hr.

Unions protect US the working class people. why are you so against them. Look at Enron employees or Delta, they lost their 401k, retirement, pension. If they were unionized that would have been taken care of by the union and those people wouldnt have to work now until the day they die. Look at wal-mart wtf?! The company I work for is non-union but they treat us VERY well, and until they show otherwise there is no need for it. All of the auto manufacturers used to be horrible to the employees.

Who are the ones making too much money? the people that go in every day and work to put food on their families plates, or the guys sitting on top of the ladder doing nothing but pencil whipping and making millions a year shitting on everyone else in the company. I'm glad the union has GM by the *****, they are just going to make detroit even poorer yet paying people minnimum wage like wal mart
