Come on, unions are getting smaller and fewer. Did unions ruin Enron? AT&T? Cendant? WorldCom? Tyco International? Global Crossing? Qwest Communications? How about Adelphia Communications?

These companies screwed shareholders out of BILLIONS all without the help of unions.

No one on this thread had dared to answer the earlier question of whether they would buy a car made by McDonalds? This is where we are headed. No joke. Someone can always make a car cheaper than ~any~ American company. It is only a matter of time until GM will be forced to move ALL mfg plants out of country. Unless… people like you are willing to pay for an American car, that supports American workers and the American way of life and the American economy.

Think about that when you buy Japanese or Chinese.

Please understand, I am 32 and have NEVER owned an American car. The Volt is truly the last chance for the American Car Manufacturer to win me back. I can’t stand Unions because they are always ruining large corporate America and always lose more jobs than they preserve. It’s just a fact of the 21st century. What’s really sad is all of those 70,000 workers who are on stike are now making $200 a week instead of $1,100 a week. Wheather $1,100 a week is alot or not, I don’t care. I just think it is obsurd that you would risk all of those jobs and one of America’s biggest companies because you don’t like what that company has to offer you. If you don’t like it, go elsewhere.

One of the bottom line reasons I buy GM vehicles is that I strongly believe in the need to preserve U.S. manufacturing jobs.

I assume that the Volt will have enough advanced content that it will command a price which will allow it to carry a decent markup.

If the Volt is produced off shore, my brand loyalty will take a tremendous turn for the worse.

My opinion of how the White House and Congress seem to care less about Fair Trade and Work Practices, the current administration in the WH only seem to care about war that is draining us dry. For what oil that future cars will not be using.

I fell if the foreign companies don’t need unions the government should step in and either.

By Law

A. Have to make Foreign Companies use the UAW making cars in the USA.

B. Allow GM to get out of its UAW contracts.

The unions striking is absolutely disgusting.

The unions see how there membership has dropped and they are still fighting to kill themselves even more.

A lot of stupid people are running these Unions.

Where American does best is when we are united. Fighting GM is not the correct thing to do and will make them both lose.

I asked why Japanese company factories IN THE UNITED STATES can do fine without unions.
