Such a bargain! Give up your union job for $20K cash & $25K car coupon

[SoCalDem]

That's GM's latest "offer" to union employees..

:puke:

CNBC just reported this ...no link yet

1. WTF?

they really hold their workers in that much contempt? they must know they'll fail without 'em, or else they wouldn't dangle this insulting carrot.

just give em a living wage and benefits - how tough is this?

[malaise]

2. I hope union workers resist

This is madness

[SoCalDem]

3. This is probably option #1

option #2?

lay-off..

They are playing chicken with their employees.. Try to see how many jump at the offer and leave "willingly"..

Siince they only seem to "make money" through layoffs, why not just lay everyone off..they'd be RICH, I tell ya!

4. And then get caught with the tax bill, and a car you can't afford to put gas in.

And likely shown the door in two months, with no rights to pension, severance, healthcare, etc. Riiiight.

5. No.. This is a BUY-OUT to get them to QUIT.. They end up unemployed

with $20K and a new car..:puke:

[Kittycat]

6. Even worse.. A new car, a huge tax bill - and no income.

By the time it's all done - they have what? 7K left after taxes. I don't know about you - but that wouldn't get my family very far, especially with my son's health needs. Maybe a month?
