[QUOTE="purplesky, post: 1136582, member: 23628"] You can bitch about over paid auto workers all day long but the fact is those BIG paychecks were buying houses,boats,cars,etc that amounted to billions for local economies. I used to deliver to 2 auto plants in my city that are now shut down and SO MANY OTHER COMPANIES RELATED TO THE AUTO PLANTS ALSO SHUT DOWN. Car haulers, rail workers, print shops,food,etc. So are we better off outsourcing those jobs in the name of globalization? cough. cough. The direct impact to UPS alone was in the millions annually of loss revenue. Its funny how everybody always uses the legend of the lazy auto worker to somehow justify the corporate greed that went down. I was in those plants for about 60 minutes everyday and those guys worked their asses off doing 12 hour shifts. They made one of the best selling vehicles in America and couldnt produce them fast enough. My point is I saw first hand how hard these auto workers had to work to keep up with production demand.
