BTW I keep hearing that the labour to build a car in a CAW Plant is only 7% of the car costs , if true....this means we've been screwed by them for years now because that leaves 97% for profits . I'm assuming the CAW knows that everyone else worked for free and only the assembly counts as Real-Jobs.

The big three Management had 30 years off opportunity to get it done right. It is managements job to run the company, decide on products, marketing etc. and, yes, set the limits on collective bargaining. The pound of flesh should be the resignations of senior management with NO Severence. I hate to know that all the bail out in the world will not sell thier vehicles. My dad used to say "don't eat yellow snow", and "don't piss into the wind". No wonder we get sick of it all Well I can understand the scorn regarding the massive work
