yes and then move the plant to mexico

[gorush]

We’ve got some work to do...but I am confident. (in the short run at least)

[doorgunner69]

If they do, another car make I will not touch. The owners of the company might be OK, but I will not line the pockets of unions.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

Not that I was planning to buy a VW anyway, but if I’m going to buy a foreign car, it won’t be one made by the UAW.

Thanks to KGeorge for the ping!

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

I have stopped buying union made cars. That means I has also stopped buying American cars. For over 30 years I have owned American made cars, well sort of, each passing year less and less of the car is actually made in America. After the unions going into full support mode for Obama, and the bail out of Government Motors, I will screw unions till the day I die. I purchased my first foreign made car last year, and I got another one last month.

While I want America to succeed, I do not want to see short term socialist success, because that leads to long term tyranny. I value my freedom and liberty over the success of my country, especially of if that short term success benefits a lazy ass union scum that lacks the testicular fortitude to be American and stand on his on feet and make his own way in life. He is just a slave of another kind living a pathetic existence because he lacks the resolve to be a man, an American man.

Hence, I voted no in the poll, but more importantly I have voted twice in the last year with my hard earned money.

I don’t have as much of a problem with private sector unions as I once did. Now public sector unions where politicians hand them goodies in exchange for votes on taxpayer dime is another issue.

My rationale on the private sector has changed over the years and these are my reasons. CEO managers (not the entrepreneurs that risked their own capital) should be “at will” employees that are fireable at any time by shareholder owners. Instead they get iron clad gold plated labor contracts that reward them for failure and make them fireproof. The guy at Yahoo was let go for incompetence and got $80 mil for 11 months..

In the building trades the unions do require that their members meet at least some proficiency levels that in the end offer a chance to keep society safer. Too many contractors hire illegals and want only bodies even if they know nothing. It may not be perfect but it is better than nothing that exists in 3rd world countries where buildings are falling down regularly.
