Default Re: GM Facts and Fiction

If anyone would like to try a "non-skilled" job for a week, try it. It sucks. The company has made it so that there is little time between cars/trucks. It's not like it used to be when they could read a magazine between vehicles. The workers now are getting carpal tunnel at an early age because of the work they do!

As far as wages, the workers have been giving concessions for a couple of contracts now. Their insurance has gone up and coverage has gone down.

Check out and see how much Toyota puts back into the United States education. From what I was told GM puts a lot of money back into the education system and Toyota puts nothing back in!

If they don't get the money, it tells me that Wall Street is more important than Main Street. IMO
