 Hargrove 'angry as hell' over Chrysler concessions I'm angry as hell. I'm not angry at my union, they've done an incredible job. I'm angry at a government.

I am sorry but someone with a High School education standing on an assembly line should not be making $35 an hour and considered 'skilled' labour.
Hence, look at what it got the auto industry.
what a f***kin joke. I will make sure I never buy anything made by the hands of the CAW.
Unskilled labor making 34 bucks an hour

Let me edit your phrase: "Unskilled labour, usually drunk on the job, making 34 bucks an hour..."
Buzz is a f*cking idiot!
These companies were in trouble long before last October.
It's funny - I see a bunch of people in here who typically put forth conservative viewpoints making emotional value judgements about the pay of auto workers. It's just supply and demand, folks, and until recently, supply and demand said that auto workers were worth what they were making. Now there's less demand, so prices have to fall to reestablish equilibrium. There's no need for insults, the market will out.
I would argue that the Union artificially inflated the workers' wages far above what standard market value for their skills dictated. Hence, why other auto makers such as Toyota paid their workers less and were still able to fill all of their positions. The wages of the CAW were far above what their companies could support and eventually contributed in part to their demise in the long run.

How suddenly did truthful statements become "conservative viewpoints"...or have conservative viewpoints always been truthful?
Auto workers wages and benefits are currently in cloud cuckoo land, time for a reality check.

We all agree that labour is somewhere between 7 and 14% of an autos cost.
A 5% decrease in that cost only amounts to a concession.
The real problem is management.
These guys running a company that size, and making the money they make, should be a bit smarter.
Chrysler and GM going bankrupt has nothing to do with labour rates. Its the way the companies were run.
Somebody at the top should be strung up for all of this
