[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 263878, member: 7999"] It's not hard to know who to blame. The union. I had this figured out 25 years ago when I was in high school. They choked the ability of the US auto industry to produce quality products. If they built the same quality as the foreign autos they would cost twice as much because of labor cost. Labor cost is not just the hourly wage + benefits. It is also the inability to expect performance from the work force. A work force that does not have performance based pay does not work hard. This compounds the cost of labor. Then come the inefficiencies that are put into place by regulations implemented by the unions. People filing grievances because some one else with less seniority got to go on break before they did. Worker that can't do certain things because it is not in their job description. Mean while waiting for the employee that has that job description, but he won't show up because he is on his break, and the whole place shuts down, until he is off his break. Give me a break. We have labor laws, the unions are useless. They need to be broken. Then you look at the so called stimulus package. It sends money (that has no value because it was printed out of thin air) to unions and Government agencies exclusively. The common man will not get any benefit. It's going to put us all in the bread line faster than any of us ever thought possible. The good thing is we have elections every two years. Steve [/QUOTE]
