So in your reading on the GM - UAW strike that is now over, did you happen to run across a description of the "jobs bank." Yes, apparently, if you are a member of the union and there is no work to be done, you can go to a rec-center, hang out for the day, and collect a full days pay. Tell me again, why did we go to college?

Have you seen a comparison relative to US auto workers at the Toyota plant vs. a GM (UAW) plant?
For position X, it costs the Toyota people about 25 bucks an hour. It costs GM about 86 bucks an hour for the same exact position. The pay is the same; the difference is in the benefits.
And people wonder why GM can't make a profit? And people complain why GM plants are moving off-shore?
Unions are killing the company. The past CEO said something to the effect of--I thought I was getting in the car industry, but I'm getting into the (health care) industry.
