So.. if you ever get pulled over by the police, you can now say:

"I swear officer, it was there when I bought the car!"

It's worse!

The UAW Owns part of Chrysler

They're forgetting about the impact on the consumers. Product failures, safe vehicles, warranties. . . . Down time, on and on.

Thanks for sharing that. I am sending this to my dealer. The owner and I are good friends

This is another incedent than the one a while back. It's not all workers, but they make all the workers look bad. UAW should step aside, and let the co. fire them.

The reporter wanted to catch the big fish. . .

But that big fish didn't have hands on the very car you are riding around in. Having been one of those suits years ago, I can appreciate where he was going. . . That reporter really wanted just to boost his personal ratings. Everyone always wants the big fish for their ego's. While I agree the big fish can be dangerous, he is not as dangerous as the guy putting the car together. Makes sense?

I notice they never once mentioned the potential safety issues. Maybe on purpose. I wonder what those guys did in assembly. The engine plant, that can get expensive for the factory. Thank goodness computers have taken most of the guess work out of assembly.

Now I own my own boss. No suits, but a suits job. I can't remember the last time I had a drink during work hours, which is 15 to 16 hours a day. LOL
