Get a bonus recently? The UAW is...

[Belmont31R]

Remember GM has paid back only a small fraction of the money they got from us...:mad:



All that money was stealing the company from the shareholders, fluffing the UAW with cash, and giving an iconic American company over to the union.

Anyone want a rifle/carbine made by the union workers at GM today? :fie:

[Littlelebowski]

I don't want anything union made.

And we lost something like $10 a share in their IPO. They sure ain't gonna pay that back.

What pisses me off the most about this BONUS and all this GM profit BS is that most people don't realize that THOUSANDS of VENDORS were told to pound sand on their outstanding accounts receivables worth MILLIONS owed to them by GM when GM went into "restructuring," aka BANKRUPTCY...

I know a few friends who were forced to close their companies and lay off ALL their workers when GM didn't pay and told them they would never pay...

So Fxxxx GM and Obama Motors!

I will never buy a GM vehicle...

Funny because Colt's workers TODAY is the UAW union. Its UAW Local 376.



Company endorses single-payer health care in new pact
LOCAL 376 AT COLT FIREARMS, WEST HARTFORD, CONN

Members of UAW local unions and regions across the country are working hard to win health care for all – from passing resolutions and working with local coalitions to win statewide single-payer systems to getting state legislatures to endorse a proposed congressional bill that would extend Medicare coverage to all Americans.

No I didn't get a bonus this year and now I'm even more pissed. Thanks a lot Belmont;)

Re-ordering the creditors was a violation of fundamental bankruptcy laws and rules; I will never buy another GM car.

All of GM profits should be going back to repay the taxpayer. Returning GM to being a private company again.

We need to roll back the regulations and laws that make unions so powerful and such a menace. If they are so good, show me the American steel mill that has been opened in the past 20 years instead of closed.

What is it a bad thing that they sit in a AC/Heated shack, playing PS3 and making $70K year bad. :sarcastic:

[Alric]

I should mail my Congress-critters and request a bill to tax these bonuses at 90%. We have precedence from last year with AIG. AIG even had a better leg to stand on, since its bonuses were previously agreed to contractual "obligations", from what I read.

And dumping the pensions of non-union workers at Delphi onto PBGC...15000 employees will see probably less than 30% of the pension GM promised them.

Back when companies hired private gunmen to solve problems and could put dead or alive bounties on peoples heads:

Doesn't the State of Connecticut own a majority of Colt, err should I say the das People/Workers of Connecticut?

Since we got a little sub thread here…… I bet the UAW will also get Colt out of participating with Obama care as well!

Agreed. They've been doing it for decades. Every major city in the US that has heavy union presences is unequivocally ****ed, and they have the nerve to keep asking for more.
