Here in NE Ohio car manufacturing is big business. So when Ford closes plants, we all notice it, especially when it's our plants. There's going to be a lot fo people out of jobs soon. And the spin doctors are working overtime.
Yes, see, it's all those dirty union jobs that are the cause of the problem. See, the union makes us pay way too much for things. The union protects bad workers. The union is at fault. Teh union is draining the coffers with their greedy contracts
Bull. If all the union workers Ford is letting go (some places say all Union Ford Employees, but lets be generous) made $75,000 a year (which they don't) it would cost the company, with benefits, around $12 Million. The new Ford CEO's signing bonus (that is, how much he got just to sign the contract) was $18 Million. Who is the greedy sob dragging the company to the grave? It isn't the union workers.
And I've said this before, we can build anything in this country better than anybody else in the world. But we can't engineer passenger cars to save our lives. And those engineers aren't union. Soon, we'll also be shown that we can't engineer light trucks either.
It's spin. Don't accept it when a company says they can't afford union employment or that they can't afford medical benefits or pensions. They're lying.

Greedy corporate bastards.
It always amazes me when we see the workers pay the penalty and the management then gets bonuses for sticking it to the workers.
