Your company is:
1. Getting its ass kicked financially
2. Losing out on market share to Asian manufactures.
3. Shipping jobs to Canada & Mexico
4. Has closed plants in other cities
5. Is being forced by the government to meet ridiculous EPA standards.
6. HAS EMPLOYED SOME OF YOU FOR OVER 30 years.
AND YET YOUR LEADERSHIP TELLS YOU THAT A STRIKE IS A GOOD IDEA!
You union lemmings deserve what you get after this latest stunt. I am all for stuff being made in America by American workers but these crybaby union workers deserve to be either replaced by a robot or have their plant closed and reopened in Mexico. Better yet, BRING IN THE SCABS. I am sure that they could do the same job that you do, only cheaper and more efficient.
Ask yourselves the following questions
1. What value do you bring to GM besides complacency and a sense of entitlement?
2. How do you give GM a competitive advantage?
3. Do rising employment costs help you beat Honda or Toyota?
4. Are the members of your Union that are close to retirement making decisions that benefit those of the whole group or just themselves? Seems to me that the Senior members are only looking out for themselves on this one.
5. Where exactly are you going to find work other than at the Fairfax plant? It's not like there are a lot of options for you out there.
6. When was the last time that you heard about a GM car lasting longer than a Honda or Toyota?
7. Do you have benefits? Do you have a retirement plan? Do you have people that have worked there for over 30 years? Do you get a check every week? Consider yourself lucky.
8. Have you met an employed Steel Worker in the US? Pretty rare huh?
9. Where do your union dues go? Are you going to be able to pay ALL of your bills while on Strike?
10. Are you incapable of thinking for yourself? Why do you need a "union chief" to tell you what to do, when to work etc.... I guarantee that the leaders of your Union won't miss a house payment while you are on strike
A job is not an entitlement. They don't have to bring your ass's back.
