No sheet. Back in the mid 70's a professor drove a Chevy Blazer. He told us about the main bearing that detroit forgot to put in the engine. Hence came the cliche, dont buy a car made on Monday or a Friday.

Read an article somewhere, about the difficulties of a manager at GM. Had an employee that wasnt in his work space, a lot of hours. Found him in a bar during the shift, while on the clock. Had him suspended for several weeks. The union came back and mgt, above her, repealed the suspension and paid his wages. He came in and thanked her for the vacation time to go hunting, with pay.

That and the long term, post employment health benefits that add hundreds, actually thousands of dollars to the price of a new car, are one of the reasons GM is in trouble. Ford was no better in many ways.

Unfortunately, Unions think, they are indestructible, A single male driving for the teamsters gets more than 800 dollars a month going into the cost of his medical. The same amount as a family of four. I had a slow month and the boss added up the hours. I was a half hour short, of qualifying for the 800 dollar medical payment. Actually he was off by one hour. I was referred to another union shop looking for drivers. No way was he going to get hung out for 800 bucks, when he had at least 5 other drivers who could make up the 80 hours it requires to get health care. I dont blame the owner one bit. No profits no jobs.
