Surprise Surprise, GM and the UAW agree on contract.

There is nothing honest or ethical about the UAW representing Ford employees.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 27 Sep 11

Since the UAW owns a substantial percentage of GM, there is nothing honest or ethical about the UAW representing Ford employees. When the people who work at Ford go into negotiations, they are literally being represented by the...

Would you buy a car from GM (G)overnment (M)oters?

redyellowblackdog @redyellowblackdog (10629) • United States 1 Jun 09

Yes, it is true. There are beginning to be rumblings of discontent and objection to the government take over of much of the US auto industry. The most frequent comment so far has been words to the effect that, "I'll never buy...
