[Shotimes] GM Job Security

[Dave]

It's not GM banning cars and trucks built by non union members. It's the 
Union banning cars and trucks built by non union members. As far as I'm 
concerned the UAW is one of the worst unions out there. we had a few 
million worth of parts come up missing they caught the two guys. I'm 
sure the Union will have them back at work by Monday. and retired by by 
May 1st. for a little over 7 million worth of parts. I get the balance 
and two days off for accidently running over the end of a fork on a 
hilo. They do a damn good job of protecting horrible employees and a 
shitty job of protecting good ones. You know it's bad when your Union 
Rep your supervisor and 4 employees are out drinking in the parking lot 
at lunch.
