Auto plants closing in the States and Canada...$%&#*!! Unions !!

I just got more ammunition against in my rant against unions. Can you believe that in the States....I have no idea if they have it in Canada but rest assured I am going to find out.....they have a thing called Job Banks ? For anyone familiar with being 'put on the bench' when you work for a company that hires out your skills, and the contract is finished....it is the same thing. You are put to work doing other tasks and training or helping out other departments until they can find another contract for you. If you are 'on the bench' for too long and you are not contributing to the well being of the company (ie: being a drain...), they then terminate or lay you off. As it is too expensive to pay your wages for an extended period of time this is the sensible thing to do. Seemingly the auto union somehow managed to negotiate a contract with the big three where employees from a plant that has shut down or reduced output are put in the job bank.....at full salary...for 4 years. Witnesses have said that they sit on their heinies getting full salary doing nothing....at average $30/hour. $30 an hour. Shit. I can't even imagine the regular benefits they get. I have absolutely no pity whatsoever for these people who expect the government to bail them out. None. Pathetic. And the UAW says it's not their fault the automakers are going tits up....Owwwwwwwwwwww......a monkey just squeezed out of my puckerhole......You my friends are a huge part of the problem. When are they going to slip back to reality and realize this ? Really. They are so far out in left field it's silly. Hmmmm. Honda and other plants are opening brand new plants in the States.....They must be doing something right.....hmmmm. Methinks it's the average $18 an hour and no unions that may have something to do with it....Oh yeah. And making sensible cars that you don't need a ladder to climb into. (This coming from a person who owns 2 North American cars....and the quality shows...or lack of)
Unions are the root of all problems. Do you really think that half of your help line calls would be routed to India if wages were not out of control by greedy unions here ? I can't even go there. That's another whole cluster f__k. Let the auto makers go bankrupt and then terminate all the union contracts and then restructure and reorganise and start fresh...Oh yeah....follow Honda and Toyota's manufacturing/business models. So at this point the US side was asking for I think 35 BILLION and at this point, god knows why, got 15 BILLION. I would like to see the stipulations if any. The Canadian side is asking for 6 BILLION. If and when they get that,which I'm sure they will...and would drop to the floor on the spot if they didn't...there has GOT TO BE STIPULATIONS FOR THE UNION CONTRACTS. And also the cars they make. Bring the auto sector employees back to reality with sensible wages. Bring all wages back to reality and then maybe we would stop losing plants to Mexico and China and India. We are in no position to sit on our asses and have other third world countries do our dirty work. We need the jobs here...in Canada. You know, I think the Conservatives actually see this and I hope they aren't forced to bend to the unions will by this coalition scare. I hope they do not cave in their January budget.

Freaking unions......twits. Did I say SIX BILLION ????
