It's NOT the car companies, it's the Union are their demands for more and more money.

The Unions have a problem with money and they need more and more every year.

UAW - RIP

Sure. GM invested a billion in Hummer while Toyota was investing a billion in hybrid technology. And GM even had the nerv to laugh at Toyota saying they'll go bankrupt because noone will ever want to buy those things. That was 5-6 years ago.

But blame the workers who make $28 an hour. It's easier that way.

Here we go again folks with this "nat" UAW1 and his buddy, Neutral (another fool). YOU don't know crap UAW1. My brother worked for Fords 32 years (just retired) and I had to listen to many of his union's horror stories.

Let's get one thing correct, there have been numerous consessions (based on what I just ask my brother in his plant - Sterling Height, MI) that the UAW ask or wanted. You're such an idiot who just babbles without knowing any facts. Stop smoking that funny tobbaco again. If you think the UAW has "not demanded a dime from any of the Big3 in over a decade", then your so full of yourself your eyes are brown. Now click your heels 3 times and you may be back in Kansas. What a fool!!

And Nardelli is driving a Jeep Hybrid. I love how they are driving cars that are NOT even in the market yet! LMAO. At least Ford's CEO is driving an Escape Hybrid, something you can go buy right now.
