Does recent history indicate that most of these sites will require extensive clean-up? I don't think that was a big issue when they closed the Ford plant in Edison, NJ a few years ago.
I'm saddened that any UAW losses will be made up in spades by the government workers' unions.
Isn't that a brand of milk?
Fine, then: Clinton's fault. 8^
Chees too. Drive the Lucerne, our cheesiest car yet.
It defies logic, but so does the Democrat party and their still around.
Union folks need to, at some point, realize, it is to your own peril to steal a company from it's owner. Say it with me...Iamtheemployee nottheowner....Iamtheemployee nottheowner....
Guess there are some greedy people who are going to get a good dose of poor.
When GM closed the Tarrytown NY plant...the environmental bugdet was several hundred mill...some of these palnts have been on the same site for 70-80 years.back then they just dumped the waste outside..then as the plants expanded, they poured concrete over it..but soil underneath is contaminated 10-20 feet down...
In Florida, we give wide berth to any and all Buicks. Guaranteed to be driven by very old folks with bad eyesight and slow reflexes.
UAW would rather have half the employees but with the same, over-inflated pay and benefits, rather than keep everyone working and lose a single dime in benefits or pay. THe union sees any loss of pay or benefits as a defeat and an insult to those hard-won labor agreements. It's pride over practicallity.
Wonder if Toyota will buy them out?
GM offers too many types of cars. They need to scale back and increase quality. They are still better than Ford but cannot touch Honda or Toyota.
I bought 2 Honda's this year and sold my old Honda that had over 250K miles for a great price. I expect to run these two until the wheels fall off.
I do drive a Chevy Silverado ;) Can't bring myself to buy a foreign truck...
You and I are remember when GM's troubles started.when then firstput a Chevy engine inside Oldsmobiles....people used to buy Olds for the "RocketOlds " engines..
They're killing the golden goose.
Who would want the liability that would come with the purchase?
I bet you the execs will still take home their million dollar bonuses! Man is so sinful. He will cut 1,000 jobs for men who will no longer be able to feed their families, but keep the ONE job of the executive who makes the equivalent of those 1,000 men's salaries so he can maintain his 12K a year country club membership, pay $500.00 for dinners out with his wife and two children and all sorts of materialistic and gluttonous activities. I know why God says it is easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven.
Now that I think about it, I don't remember any serious environmental concerns when they built that Sharp headquarters on the site of the old Ford plant in Mahwah, NJ.
Please don't ever use the word "smell" in a sentence mentioning Myk Al-Moor!
Whatever comrade..
The Lucerne? Isn't that alfalfa?
The presence of health insurance changed all that. When the "patient" perceived that they were not paying for their health care out of their own pocketbook, costs began their astronomic upward trend. Demand increased dramatically, and when prices zoomed upward, no one complained, no one comparison shopped, and everything just went out of control.
We would be so much better off if the concept of "health insurance" had never surfaced in this world.
