totally agree with you, HummerGuy. in fact, I give unions less credit than you do. in my eyes, they are nothing except a way for employees to bully around their employers these days. anyone who's been on the management side of thingsknows what a royal nightmare it is to deal with them and their constant threats.

it's interesting to note to toyota only recently surpassed GM in volume of sales, but has been making much more profit for several years now. anyone think that might have something to do with...........operating costs? 0.o

unions are pretty ridiculous nowadays. I know some people whose jobs are to aim the cameras in some of the tunnels for the big dig. they do somewhere around 30 minutes of actual work a day, but still get paid 8 hours at a rate of $20/hr.
