. The employees are going to have to make up their minds. They have to see whats happening. It's come down to what you've stated. Keep making what you are now an run the very strong risk of lossing everything or take a cut in pay an keep the company running, but also, lets add that the people at the top (the suits) have to tighten their belts too, not just the line workers. Just think how many workers you could save by cutting from the highest paid at the top.

But the UAW is charging 75.00 an hour to the big 3. Can anyone see the problem here? I would think people would rather make 40.00 an hour and know they will have a job and their company will survive than making 75.00 an hour and lots of layoffs and really not much job security.
And if the big 3 do not file bankruptcy they can't get out of these contracts. I would say file now and come out a leaner meaner company that can make it. Bailouts are not going to make the companys survive since they are still going to have to pay high union wages.
I do not want this to be a pissing match, but what do you guys and gals think on this? I want my Camaro but at the rate it is going GM may not be around to build it.
