I thought they worked for Generous Motors.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

Be interesting to organize a 1000 car "parade" made of foreign cars and just drive by the various sites on strike... maybe just keep driving around the block they're striking on for an hour or two at each site.

True story: A close relative of mine worked at the GM foundry in Pontiac. The broom closest was retrofitted with card table and four chairs for card playing. One day the "Big Boss" came through and made them get rid of it. Some wisecrack posted on the broom closet door a picture of a table and drew a red line through it.lovinlife101 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 12:31 pmIt’s a proud tradition.audiophile wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 11:55 amLOLlovinlife101 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 10:18 am“We hate GM!

UAW slob: “My grand pappy was an original sit-downer. Then my daddy sat for 30 years on GM’s dime. Now, it’s my turn!”

Plenty of stories like that to go around, if you've ever spent time in a plant. I'm sure any big manufacturing plant has similar issues, but you might see a pattern of extremes in the auto plants.audiophile wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 4:44 pmTrue story: A close relative of mine worked at the GM foundry in Pontiac.

Was working down at the Doraville, GA plant one time. Was looking around for one of the plant floor electricians and kept hearing "he's probably in the condo". Took a while to find out what that was, but eventually found out. Up in the steel above the assembly area a bunch of the guys got together and built a room out of various materials. had a couple blow-up mattresses, a fridge and little hotplate. Guys, especially those that had a 2nd job outside the plant, would go up there and get a few hours of sleep during the shift.
