Anyone taking bets on how long Cerberus allows the circus to go on before they pull the plug and sell off Chrysler’s assets?? Maybe Chrysler could be re-invented as a smaller leaner company with new factories in the right-to-work states without the killer albatross of the UAW? Is there something in federal labor law that requires the “big 3” to deal only with the UAW?
The way in which Toyota, Honda, and Nissan have utilized non-union factories outside of the rust belt would seem to be the only way forward for the survival of the US auto industry.
Sounds like it’s time for Chrysler to pull a “air traffic control” routine.
fire em all

fuggin unions.
I’m thinking Far North Texas could use a good auto plant. Maybe Wichita Falls would like to have a nice big auto plant off Hwy 287 as well.
My understanding is that Cerberus is run by very intelligent people who do not put up with poor performance.
So this stike will probably last a short time (time enough to get the unsold inventory down) and will allow the union to save face by saying "We tried". But we will have to go back to work before too long or we will simply not have jobs to go back to.
The people who run Cerberus obviously have a plan - and a back-up plan.
Gotta get off the PC now and "work" around the house and on the vehicles. I believe it is best even if not "working" to still maintain a "work" schedule...
