GM Workers Brawl

GM workers are getting to the point where, apparently, they’ve had enough.  It must be tough for these High School graduates to go from making $60k plus a year with benefits, medical, dental, stock, etc to being unemployed like 10% of this country.  Much like High School graduates they’re bad at controlling their emotions and will lash out to anyone close to them if something goes bad.

Personally they need to get over it.  Just about everyone I know has either been laid off, knows somebody who’s unemployed or they themselves are about to get canned.  This is typical Union employee BS. These High School graduates have lived the good life, now at the expense of the American tax payer visa ve our bailout and their exhorbitant union contracts, for long enough and now that they’re getting laid off they’re showing their elementary maturity level.  If you’re going to fight people at least make it about sports or a girl.  Not work.  I thought we knew this?

“The economy continues taking its toll on people across the country. Locally, the emotion and pain of job loss struck in Wayland Friday as tempers flared and employees fought just hours after they found out they were losing their jobs. Employee Jason Stanton went after another employee in desperation in the aftermath of a difficult day. 30 employees at Wayland Chevrolet found out their jobs were gone on Friday, and to many in town the move came as a huge surprise. Compassion and sympathy were extended for those dealing with the sudden loss.”

October Worst Month for Auto Sales in 17 Years

Well at least the granola eating environmentalists are happy.  Bloomberg.com reported that, “U.S. auto sales plummeted 32 percent in October to the lowest monthly total since January 1991, led by General Motors Corp.’s 45 percent slide, as reduced access to loans and a weaker economy kept consumers off dealer lots. Ford Motor Co. reported a 30 percent drop in car and light- truck sales from a year earlier and Toyota Motor Corp.’s declined 23 percent. Honda Motor Co.’s slid 25 percent, Nissan Motor Co.’s were down 33 percent and Chrysler LLC’s fell 35 percent.”

Maybe this will finally be the wake up call that Detroit and the rest of the world needs to start creating cars that are efficient when it comes to gasoline consumption or run on alternative fuels.
