[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 772853, member: 9859"] "Here comes the judge" ...... "Here comes the judge" ....."Here comes the judge" [video=youtube;3hIcKkKID8k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hIcKkKID8k[/video] Many of my "hourly" peers at UPS have Edu/Mech/Bus backgrounds at one time or another prior to their hire date, and some still apply their "moonlighting" skills for extra income. Today's generation doesn't have any vivid memories of family who knew what it meant to have to work for a dollar an hour with no type of benefits until they formed and joined unions. People today forget that it is labor unions that have given us the five-day workweek, holidays, overtime pay, increased wages, etc. Yet, these valued benefits are seeping away from the American worker day-by-day. Their demise is sometimes hardly noticeable, yet, constantly eroding. If you look at the big picture, Union fault has little to do with the near-fatal collaspe of the US Auto Industry or it's subsidiaries ..... the Germans and Japs actually designed/produced/marketed cars people wanted, needed, have fun with, acessorize and target the greatest demand of the consumer ..... making all the difference in the world.....The [U]US[/U] has closed the gap in consumer confidence in just a few short years of our foreign competitors..... [B]However, we still get a bad rap for what we we're known for in the past,[/B] making low quality cars and trucks....That's terrible marketing.... Based on Inital Quality studies our product is as good as or better than the Imports. U.S. Automakers do have great sales satisfaciton and they know how to take care of their customers. Truly, U.S. Automakers have got to feel the pulse of the American and global communitie's needs, and continue to improve demand thru quality engineering, marketing......and increase production will soon follow helping us get back to the auto mfg powerhouse we once were. Wake up and smell the coffee, stop blaming free market failures on the laborers/unions........The problem lays above their pay scale..... [URL]http://www.vehicles.com/2010-banner-year-us-automakers-jd-powers-iqs/[/URL] Take a look at Audi's upswing and methods for example.....
