IBD EDITORIAL FROM NCPA
HEAD: GM NEEDS TO LOSE ITS HEAVY LOAD
LEAD: As General Motors cuts production by 150,000 trucks, Volkswagen is
making plans to open a factory that will build 150,000 units a year. Guess
which one is unionized...
General Motors (GM) announced this week that it will reduce truck
production, shed jobs, cut executive salaries, freeze base salaries,
eliminate health care benefits for retirees over 65 and sell assets. The
reason GM is clawing just to hold on is more complicated than high gasoline
prices hurting GM's truck and SUV sales. This is the story of a company so
weighed down by a labor union that it's desperately trying to avoid
extinction, says Investor's Business Daily (IBD).
It's a business that, by contract, once had to pay 2,300 workers at its
shuttered Oklahoma City plant their full salaries and benefits for doing
nothing.
The New York Times reported two years ago that workers in the Jobs Bank
still showed up at the plant, then spent their days reading, watching
television, playing dominoes or chatting.

Sme as labor. GM should have disbanded, shedding the unions, and
started a new company without union labor costs.

Are you just completely stupid or what? National healthcare isn't
free. The taxpayers, which would include GM and its employees and
retirees, would STILL be paying for it.

They better do it fast, because once the people that care about Americans
take
over, the unions will have equal say as do the corporations.
Where is your patriotism? Traitor like the rest that went to communist
China. ...
