I once heard that if a GM assembly line workers was laid off because of slowdowns, shutdowns, etc and they were offered another job at another plant and they didn't like it for any reason, they didn't have to take it and still got paid..... Thanks unions.
A friend told me that in the 70's he worked near Detroit building Pontiacs- Every so often a car or two was pulled off line after a dent mysteriously appeard on a 1/4 panel. This kept one or two union workers working repairing those mysterious dents... Those "make work" jobs were negotiated in the union contracts.
Thanks unions and thanks GM for being so dumb.
