[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 246308, member: 1944"] I live by the big gm factory in Lordstown Ohio, (where Cobalt came from) and the GM plant Fed ex, and UPS are the only jobs that pay a pretty decent wage. We lost the steel mills in the 70s and its a crap hole now. If we lose this, it will be about 11% of the population working. I dont know if the strike is a good thing, and I dont want to be next. But they get a whole 200 bucks a week from their strike fund. Remind me again what we got.......... and what we lost? They had been working without contract for 9 months and didnt make any progress, but walking out I feel only gives GM one more reason to move south even more. Im not sure it was the right way to preserve the middle class. Thats the big buzz word here. [/QUOTE]
