[QUOTE="scratch, post: 247035, member: 1674"] I just talked to my brother, he works for GM in Shreveport, LA. GM used to have 400,000 employees, now they are down to 73,000. He wasn't happy with the Strike, it was a stupid move in his opinion. They are going on a two-tiered wage system, and the health plan is going to be run by the UAW instead GM. He works as a Pipe Fitter in what is our version of "Plant Engineering". He is there if the assembly line breaks down or they are doing a model changeover. GM is trying to do away with his job position and sub-contract it out. He has 22 years in, the worst thing that could happen is he would have to go to the assembly line and actually work every day. He used to work eighty hours a week, thats double-time over forty, and triple time on holidays. He used to hit six figures, but is now down to only forty hours. He's fixing to marry his forth wife, a LSU professor, and is enjoying his new Harley Road King. So it sounds like he is doing alright to me.:bored: [/QUOTE]
