Untrained sales people out-produced the plants best shift within a week.

Trick is you do what is necessary even if it’s “not your job.” And you don’t take break every 45 minutes.

The plant found that if you actually “work” stuff gets done. Imagine that.

I will also be retiring at 67 and1/2 or later without company provided health care of any kind, although I will have medicare – lol whatever that will be by the time I get there.

I have little sympathy for these overpaid workers.

And yes .. it was a booze bottle .. placed there by some “bored” and mischievious autoworker. What’s it say for what they get by with (?).

You can thank American ingenuity and the engineer who built and designed the machinery in the assembly lines that put most of that car together for that. It’s amazing to know that the “human touch” is pretty minimal in the assembly of these things we chase down the highway at 65 + mph.

I spent years working with GM and have seen a plant or two. The job I’d want would be the tire installer. The car moves down the line to him. It stops as is predetermined so that he can take the tire and wheel assembly off the chute it rolls down to him; so that he can then simply place it on the car (at waist high height – the car is elevated to accomplish this – he doesn’t have to bend or squat down) and spin the lug nuts tightly onto the vehicle which is done by an air wrench with all 5 lug attachments. He only needs to place the tool in position and hit the trigger. The operator doesn’t move more than 3 feet if that. He turns, grabs the tire and wheel, puts it on the car, and hits the air wrench trigger. Robotics could do that, too.

The burnt out with (most of) the UAW (hate to use the word) “workers” .. is boredom.

Ah, yes, the “BOOK”.

To have the “BOOK” means up yours, I’m outta here, 30 and out, bye bye, sayonara, da svidanya tovarisch.

Cry baby union guys should have gotten a job with the federal government!

Or voted libertarian!

It is kind of funny that they’re getting GM stock, I guess if you need something to line your bird cage with it would be okay.

I’ve unfortunately known a number of UAW workers mostly through my wife’s best friend who both her and three of her sisters married some of them. Their attitudes towards work and management are disgusting. Many were the times when they all would get together at some family gathering we’d been invited to and talk about whose turn it was to go on strike that year. One worked at Chrysler, two at Chevrolet and another at Ford. I would listen as they talked about how when on 2nd shift half of the people on the assembly line would cover for the other half to climb the fence and go to a bar across the street. The next night they would swap places. I heard all kind of stories about workers doing stuff like putting a note in a bottle then sealing the bottle inside of a fender well or rocker panel. The note would say something like “Ha, finally found me!” that I’m sure some tech at a car dealer went crazy trying to find the source of an annoying noise.

To me, the UAW optimizes what is wrong with unions in general. Maybe these folks in the article can contact their boy Barry who I’m sure they voted for and and get stimulated.

The UAW just finished killing the auto industry.

Wall Street has killed much of the financial industry.

And the Moron’s Criminal Cabal is in the process of killing the country.

A smart virus knows how to feed without killing its host.
A dumb virus – like HIV – kills its host.

We’re dominated by a very smart virus.
