LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Looks like our brothers from the North may help the Big 3... http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/17951929/detail.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Oh... Larry.... this is going to be very hard not to look real bad.... for me.... First off is the "onionistic" term "brother".... We don't need to go there because it isn't going to be pretty.... Honest. Second... the assembly workers unions and the manufacturers management have BOTH spent many years fleecing the buying public.... Neither of these entities have fuck all to do with after sales repairs and/or parts supply. The manufacturers have spent many years enjoying their excesses - both in usurious management rewards and in unreasonable employee rewards for simply putting "tab A in slot B and tightening the bolt"... For the most part, assembly line workers have been enjoying wages and benefits far in excess of those that downstream workers experience... EVEN THOUGH DOWNSTREAM WORKERS NEED HIGHER SKILLSETS AND ABILITIES THAN ASSEMBLY WORKERS. Financial institutions have spent their time fleecing over "safe" investors. They use us to hedge their high risk, high return ventures. Now they expect us to bail them out of their high risk, oops we fucked up ventures. The Big 3 are no different... After years of enjoying their excesses and us catching what is left, we are expected to pick up the slack..... Fuck that. I don't care if they build good shit or if they build shit that can't make it off the assembly line... I fix that shit.... and I will continue to fix that shit. I will get paid to do it.... It doesn't matter to me and it wont affect me half as bad as it will affect those that screwed themselves out of a job. My allegiance is to my customer.... This is the relationship that matters most to me. I have to take what Ford will allow me to do... and I have to amke that pallatable to my customer... That Ford and the UAW have both placed themselves in tender circumstances has nothing to do with me... If they want to act like pricks, the world can treat them like pricks. Manufacturer management has fleeced their shareholders and unions have fleeced the manufacturers... the victim is the consumer... and now the victims are to come to the rescue of the villian? Fuck me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
