Re: Ford Plant Closures

Citing a source would add to the credulity of your post....

I might believe an article that said "each laid off worker COULD cost Ford
as much as $100,000...". I would find it hard to call Ford down for this
circumstance... apparently the power of the UAW is lost on you. I can assure
you that this isn't anything that Ford WANTS to do.

Similarly, the statement regarding assembly line workers earning $64 per
hour..... based on a 40 hour work week, that would be about $11,000 per
month. If we had a shred of common sense, we would question the article
rather than repeat it...

Your sig line is interesting..... why would a happy Toyota owner be
concerned with a Ford NG..... I rechecked the quality (or the lack of
quality) regarding the statements made and could only come up with one
reason..... penis envy.....

I have no sympathy at all for those with so little happening in their lives
that they cannot find any other pleasure than too engage in useless
newsgroup postings designed to be inciteful. FWIW, you can't even do that
well...
