You know they are in trouble when Fiat is getting cold feet about a
merger.

Another one about to bite the dust.

They've threatened to pull out of Canada if they don't " get what they
want".Fiat has most likely looked at the Management (as ****ty as it
is ) and are nervous. The CAW has said if that happens, they'll never
sell another car in Canada.
Besides, the Canadian employees do more work, with less injury....

You spinmiesters crack me up. * *Go read the announcement by Fiat.
It specifically states that they want the UAW and CAW to get in line with
the pay and benefit packages typical of Toyota and Honda. * It also states
that the strongest opposition to the *Fiat requirements are coming from the
CAW. *So far, the CAW won't budge. *Pretty soon they will be out of a job.

And I guarantee you....it will be nasty. We may need to call in our 12
man Armed Forces . Let em' bust the unions, or try......it would be
disastrous. Imagine....being paid a 70s wage in the year 2010...with
the cost of living NOT dropping . Did you read what I wrote...or just
the first few lines?

I think the choice is going to be a wage that reflects the skill level
or no wage at all. There is a guy in Tennessee who will do what a UAW
guy gets $40 an hour doing, for $20. We don't even have to bring up
Mexico.

But Mexico will do it for much less than $10.

Best car I ever had was a 1988 Mercury Tracer. It was actually a
Mazda, and was made in Mexico, but it was an American car. Said so on
the badge.
