    The UAW needs a little tough love. It derailed the Cerberus deal at Delphi. Today GM suffers a loss of about $2,000 per vehicle sold. On the other hand Toyota whose employees are not part of the UAW earns a profit of about $1,200 per vehicle sold. If GM was able to operate with labor prices near Toyota’s it would have pocketed an additional $29,715,200,000.

    GM bailout nonsense

    General Motors can always look for another Iaococca again.

    Btw, the US of A has always being invincible.

  3. patriot Says:

    Dear Folks;

    please allow me to correct the wrong spelling for Iaococca which should read Iacocca.

    Do pardon me.

    Yours truly: patriot
