I’m all for a fair work environment and compensation. I don’t want GM to shut down in Oshawa, or in Canada in General. However, when I see lines like this:

I’m assuming someone with good taste and an incredible sense of style.

You’re looking at it wrong. The majority of unions these days do things specifically to further the union itself.

you are missing the second part. Yes, they fulfilled all fiduciary requirements. AND THEN contributed $100b to the canadian economy and more importantly $8b to canadian taxpayers’ pensions and retirement funds.

The ad is misleading simply because it refers to the bailout as a gift and not a loan. Even if that loan was generous and interest free, if the company pays it back than the cost was not $10B but rather the interest on that loan, a fraction of the amount. Running the interest lost vs tax gain on having GM Canada…

Seems like Canadian workers are not going without a fight.

Because strategic planning about what happened yesterday or even today it’s about what’s going to happen tomorrow. That’s why it’s called planning, not reacting.

It will only help GM.

It only builds the last gen truck and needs to ship the bodies in from another plant. It appears to have been an expensive temporary measure to make sure they didn’t lose production while the “real” truck plants were reconfigured for the 2019 MY trucks.

I think the union is out of line with the commercial. GM’s statement sums up the situation pretty well. The Canadian people did not hand over billions of dollars free and clear. The money got paid back and GM has contributed 10x to their economy. I think it’s disingenuous for these labor unions to fund liberal…

Regardless of who you are politically, huffington post is as far liberal as they get, and CNN is right there too. Mary Barra has consistently said the tariffs are not the issue. Whether lying or not, there are definitely more issues playing into the game. Just one thing to know is that the workload for the past year…

No job is forever especially when you work for someone else

Surprised only 2,300 out of 18,000 agreed to buyouts... Were they hoping things would turn around?

I’m not questioning the newsworthiness of this story, but 4,000 is nowhere near the population of a small city.  That’s like 1/10th of a city.

Do they have 300+ million citizens? No, I’m near Kendall square, get on those knees  

Yes- as a whole- the devil is in the details-- however try explaining the savings to say 20 year UAW workers when you tell them the Cadillac plans they painstaking negotiated through strikes and other collective actions are going away in exchange for Medicaid-- but that it’s for the collective good so they should be…

Yes, don’t do what the people want, do what the child bloggers from Gizmodo group know is best for everyone.

It’s at the very least 25M and any objective person will admit that, just as I will admit that any number in the trillions is a ridiculous, made up number used only to discredit people like myself that understand the actual cost.

These people want healthcare for all plus open borders.  It boggles my mind wondering how these people think it’s possible to pay for that.  Even 70% tax on the wealthy won’t cover those costs.

There will always be money in medicine, and any plan that pretends otherwise is doomed to fail. Like in every other industry, good, or service, the profit motive, when left more or less to its devices, will do more to eliminate scarcity than any government program ever could.
