i have a feeling this post may be like yelling “HONEY!” in a crowded bee hive but i i’d like to see some opinions and maybe have some of you open my eyes to the light right in front of me, so to speak. that being said, let’s discuss the UAW/GM strike. having never been faced with that sort of huge corporation or, honestly, never having really worked for a “big business” before the way i see it may be 180 degrees off base but i think that the union workers should realize that if they expect the business to last, thus creating job security, they should understand that they,GM, need to make some big changes. history is proving that offering paid health care for the whole life of the worker can not continue. and to make it even worse the average human is now living longer than ever before. from what i have heard the typical auto worker makes a pretty damn good wage, has good benefits and is rewarded for their services with some pretty good vacation time and is quite franklly doing much better than me on each of those levels (but i’m happy to have a job that keeps me bringing home the bacon and frying it up in the pan) to me…again..TO ME it seems like asking to be taken care of after you retire…especially in these economic times, is greedy. don’t they see that the company is struggling just to stay alive and that the struggle is based mostly on the very thing they are demanding? i’ll drop this the way it started by saying that this is my opinion and i welcome oposing views and admit, as i frequently do, that i may be completely wrong about this whole thing.
