In the below paragraph, tell me the one word that stands out as odd to you.

DETROIT (01-19-09) — Cash-strapped General Motors and Chrysler have about four weeks left to hammer out concessions from the United Auto Workers and bondholders and meet federal loan obligations, but the stakeholders may have good reasons for stalling.

Did you find it?   Uh?

Okay – the smarty pants down in front with your hand up to the ceiling what is it?

“from”

Exactly.  See no matter how hard GM and Chrysler try to  come up with a plan for reconstruction, they have to get the labor unions to go along with it.  They are required by the government to come up with a new business plan to be profitable AND how they are going to pay the citizens back the money stolen from them.

The unions won’t budge and there is the sticking point.  Labor unions are no different than these chicks here with their mouths open and will even push other chicks out of the way to be the first to feed.  They believe they are owed and nothing can change them from their course of sucking businesses dry.   An example of what unions won’t do to help:  They have a several acre “retreat” with golf course that is losing money right and left but instead of splitting it up and selling it, they beg for more money from the auto industry. 

(I actually should have a picture up there of leeches, but its a bit early for me to stomach that!)

The unions need to die.  Be gone with you. 

This weekend as the deadline gets closer, the unions are still standing firm with their mouths wide open: begging.

DETROIT (Reuters) – Talks between the United Auto Workers (UAW) and General Motors Corp (GM) aimed at cutting costs and debt at the struggling automaker have broken down over union concerns about retiree healthcare, a person briefed on the talks said on Saturday.

A parallel set of talks between Chrysler LLC (CBS.UL) and the UAW over similar concessions were continuing over the weekend but little progress had been made in the past week, a person briefed on those negotiations said.

The breakdown of talks at GM and the stalled negotiations at Chrysler come with just three days remaining until both automakers must submit new restructuring plans to the U.S. government as a condition of their $17.4 billion bailout.

This is why the auto companies should have gone bankrupt.  There is no winning with unions unless they get what they want.  So when GM and Chrysler cannot go back to DC and provide a recovery and pay-back plan, it will be the unions’ fault – but the MSlobberingM won’t tell you that.   They will blame it on GM and Chrysler for not cow-towing to the unions and causing all the problems.

Unions are a cancer to this country and the manufacturing community.  They are the reason manufacturers have gone overseas, or moved to non-union states, like Alabama and Georgia.  The unions are sucking them dry.

Its time unions are run out of this country on a rail.
