GM UAW Workers In Kansas Reject New Contract And Threaten Strike

A UAW local at General Motors' Fairfax, Kan., plant will hold a strike authorization vote Thursday after workers rejected a local labor contract last Friday.

About 66% of production workers and 58% of skilled-trades workers voted against the proposed contract.

GM employs about 3,400 hourly workers at the assembly plant, which makes the Buick LaCrosse and Chevrolet Malibu midsize sedans.

Do they just get bored repeating the same tasks all day and strike just to mix things up?

Unions are bad for USA.

Next time you get a chance, check out the tax bill sent to you by your state and local governments.

The average working stiff is paying for excessive salaries, benefits and pension plans paid to public employee union members.

When you get done paying your taxes to fund the retirement plans of these union members, you most likely will not have enough left over to fund your own retirement plan.

Screw the unions before they can screw you!

UAW again?? New York Times interviewed the big guy from Apple last week and got the confirmation that Apple will never return the jobs back to USA. Steve Jobs, last year, also had the same firm statement to Obama. During the interview, Apple guys had explained why.
