[DeTomaso] Fw: Now, how many of you have import marque cars sitting in your garages?(was: How can this happen in America)

Why do you people insist on spreading the lies? Try to get the real facts
instead of malicious lies. I have worked in factories as a maintenance
Electrician for 35 years - the last 16 in the Ford Atlanta Assembly Plant. I
made $30/hr as a skilled tradesman. $30+/hr for unskilled labor???
BULLSHIT!! I do not consider electricians unskilled labor.  

You don't seem to object to paying $60/hr to your local Toyota stealership
to get your Japanese car fixed. Why should I repair computer controlled
machinery for McDonalds wages?

You don't think poor management and exorbitant executive bonuses have
anything to do with the financial problems?

I heard this same crap when FRANK LORENZO RAPED EASTERN AIRLINES. Somehow he
convinced the news weasels and political pundits that the IAM destroyed
Eastern. The IAM  and ALPA gave Lorenzo concessions in contract negotiations
and FRANK LORENZO stole the airlines assets. He destyroyed both Texas Air
and Eastern by transferring assets to Continental. Yeah, the union did it.

<<<But in simple terms, he can retire at an early age because he picked a 
career in a Unionized industry
>where the labor force still has some power>>>>
And where is that unionized industry now?? $30+/hr for unskilled labor  had 
to come to end sooner or later.....
