Right, Timmy- people like David are always quick to point the finger at the union and its members and in all actuality, they are the lowest point on the corporate ladder. With that said, they have no say in what is developed, sold and bought...but somehow it's always their fault. As posted above, Toyota is paying $30/hr with good benefits too so how is it that the union's overpayed force drives the companies into the ground? As I said above, the huge retiree expense is a major advantage for Toyota et. al. But that's right- there has been 100 years worth of the dedicated employees who have contributed to their respective communities wheras Toyota and Honda have not until recently. This debate will never be a neverending tug-of-war so this is my last $0.02 on this issue...Ciao!!
I see you missed or diagree with my point. I agree with your tug of war position although you may have given more than 2 cents. NOW THANK ANDREW!!!!!!!!!!!!! and breath in.........and out.........and in.........and out. Your not wrong, you simply lack the ability to understand the entire picture based on you obvious involvement in Windsor's union movement. Maybe some travelling and a nice tea would clear the chalk of the board of your mind.
Don't get me wrong and I must clarrify that I am also a Union brother as you already know. Things are changing at such a pace and let's just say that the Geniva convention does not imply. No rules means harder action and people like David aren't bread for such action. We are, unfortunately a dying breed and the weak will surrender and the elite will conquer. In order to compete with contries like China we have begun to adopt there philosophies. I was working last week when a bus load of 40+ Chinese buisness people entered my work facility. There english (engrish) was impecable and the hand shake rather clinical. Stay strong and don't let people like David bum you out. The world is a vampire! Now can we all enjoy the historical contribution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! In.....out......in.....out......in.
"engrish" lol! fa rah-rah-rah-raahh, rah ra rah rah! christams story anyone? no? lol
this post is going to go on for 40 more..........and i'm sure it will continue at some point in the near future too timmy. thanks for the effort though lol
damn... I'm out of popcorn again... brb
:) You've gotta love how a simple then and now photo turned into a the Union is shit vs. the Union is great debate, with a Big 3 is shit/awesome vs. Toyota is awesome/shit debate thrown in just for fun!!
I don't mind the debate but please try and be civil to each other. Calling other people stupid won't get you anywhere.
As David can probably tell you, he's the only person who ever caused me to close comments on a post before. He's caused it twice before, and this one is getting close to becoming his third one.
Some people, just can't argue with, as they're never wrong...
Thanks for the kind words Timmy and Aaron.
heh heh heh you're welcome :)
Ok, I'm breathing deep now Timmy...back to the historical side of things. We don't want dear David to close out another post now do we?? Keep up the good work Andrew!
