Dont we all go to work everyday for an end result? The end result for the GM and Delphi workers was that when they were hired, they were told that if they worked for 30+ years that they would be given a pension, life insurance (for a price) and also that they would have life time hospitalization. If they would have told anyone of us that we would have taken the job, to secure a future for our families, and if you say that is not true, I would have to question you. Those people, regardless of hourly wage, stayed and worked side by side with the salary persons also, who were promised the same deal.....My question is to everyone...if it were you would you have stayed for all those years to have nothing after 30 yrs. or would you have gone to another job that provided what GM and Delphi had promised to their workers. I personally would have looked elsewhere, my family and its future is what I work to take care of, so if it is for a company that is willing to pay X amount of dollars per hour and promise me a secure life after I retire, who would not take that deal. So please lets not bash the GM and Delphi workers for doing what we all would do if we could.
Why should taxpayers pick up the tab for GM and Delphi excesses?
