I owuld like to tell you something I know first hand. On 10-1-2006 a number of salaried employees at GM in Doraville Georiga will lose their jobs-no compensation of any kind except unemployment. My husband was fortunate. He was transferred and last Monday began his job in Janesville wisconsin. Perhaps, you might spare a thought and/or a prayer for these people. They are normal people with kids, mortgages just like you.

I have worked in the Detroit area for over 40 years, so I certainly know hardship(both general and personally). I am retired from a automotive parts supplier, so I am familiar with the tactics employed by the auto companies to cut costs. My division was sold and the employees experiencied salary freezes, benefit cuts, and the loss of jobs.

This backround was the basis for my comment.
