So why is GM now the union's bitch over the past month? They do great work and earn every benefit and dollar paid, but they are losing my utmost respect for their sacrifices. If everyone strikes against GM at the same time, then GM cannot possibly offer them all what they want at once. It's bad for GM because it inhibits competition; it's bad for the unions because GM has limited resources and cannot sacrifice everything for their workers. If anyone has a right to strike, it's the hard-working employees of this country, but there needs to be a line drawn here. If I were a GM head right now, I'd consider closing one of these plants to show that business is priority one. Without good business, these workers don't have a job anyway, so these Malibu and truck strikers need to realize that they are impeding the production of GM's bread-and-butter vehicles. If they want to keep making what they make now, then maybe they should share GM's corporate goals instead of obstructing them.
No, I am not anti-worker. In fact, I'm far more moderate than this post would have you believe, but this striking is why domestic companies move overseas. Not only is the labor cheaper, but the work is constant, unobstructed by demanding strikes. They need to realize how expendable they are.
