I wouldn’t employ anyone in the United States if I ran a megacorporation either.

Would have to be stupid.

I’m sure the Unions will get fine representation amongst the Communist Chinese.

When will America get its first Chinese cars? “Joint ventures” (with the Chicoms) are nothing new. Such arrangements are required to sell cars in China. China won’t just let us ship them cars, that’s unfair!

I’ve been buying Mercury for the last 13 years. Haven’t had any problems whatsoever. I’m glad it’s a division of Ford and not GM.

Well they do, in a sense. But the unions can’t strike or do squat about their lot. They are all Chicom show.

Maybe like IBM in India they will offer American workers a job in China.

GM was also set to start up a factory in India in March.

And, most likely will bail on their retirees, retirees widows/widowers, both blue collar and white collar...

which means the US government will pick up the tab for the pensions up to $54,000 a year

And when the GM-built Chinese tanks roll into LA, we can smile knowing that we got a great price for the Arsenal of Democracy. Hooray for Free Trade!

Congratulations, unions!

I guess they’ll all have to join Zero’s secret police force, as they’ll all be out of work! Oh wait, they won’t have to work with the sweet union severance packages.

More jobs out of America—Congratulations, Zero!!!!

You mean even with all this Obama handwaving about a “bad GM” and a “good GM”, GM will take the union down with the ship in bankruptcy? No special public dole for them that Joe Average American can’t get?

Couldn’t happen to a nicer herd of dinosaurs.

You probably can list the link as a reply to a post later in a thread, but not in the title. I've tried. Maybe you have better luck than me! :)
