[QUOTE="Treegrower, post: 518646, member: 11614"] Look to the original post. How do things get so obscured here? The original post stated that he heard on talk radio that the UAW refused to bargain or give back at all and that was the source of GM's problems. I used Ford as an example beause number 1 , the UAW reopened their contract and renegotiated early saving the company tens if not hundresd of millions of dollars, the fact that 1 or more proviosions were going to end at the end of the current contract (a couple of years from now)is irrelevant. They came, they bargained and they gave back. So ....some guy served his counntry in the military for 20 years and earned a pension???? Your point is what? A person can only earn 1 pension in his/her lifetime? A maintenance worker has really nice equipmment to do his job? I suppose some union official held a gun to the head of the company maintenance dirctor's head and forced him to buy a certain piece of equipment. Again your point is....? I know a UPS feeder driver in a brand new $80,000Sterling who has A/C for the summer, great heat in the winter,power steering, ect.ect. and is making about $100,000 a year on a run that guys would kill for. He is sooo fat and out of shape I can't believe he actually passed a DOT physical. Also know a fulltime air driver in a brand spanking new dodge van ( no A/C ,but great heat) that has it soo cush that guys would just about kill for that run also. Again making big bucks. He does so little work compared to us package guys. He also is a former active duty military with 8 or 10 years fulltime served in the Army and now is Active duty reserves and he will at some point, if he stays with he will also collect a pension from the Army. Your point about the pension is.....? And the BTW comment, Yes I know Ford didn't take any taxpayer money. That isn't/wasnt the point. The point is the UAW who covers the Bg Three-including Ford came to the table and negotiated early and gave back and made huge concessions, irrespective that some provisions were due to expire in a couple of years.
