[QUOTE="brett636, post: 772691, member: 249"] Yes, because a 100% pay cut with no benefits or pension is so much better. I was talking to one of our newest part timers last night and learned he is a former computer programmer. When educated people are having difficulties finding jobs you know these morons are going to find it extra hard as I am betting most of them are not skilled nor educated. They wanted $29/hr, to put a hunk of metal in a machine and push a button, and in todays economic conditions it just is no longer feasible. Besides, what they were offered really wasn't all that bad. from [url=http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2010/09/uaw-workers-vote-457-to-96-to-close.html]this[/url] source. This was a take it or leave it situation. They either took the deal and kept their jobs, or didn't and would lose them. JD Norman has stated they will no longer pursue purchasing this plant. This is not only a loss for the workers, but a loss for Indianapolis as this city could have used those extra jobs JD Norman would have brought in. [/QUOTE]
