Ford, just as GM, has overpayed there bolt spinners for decades and the
chickens are home to roost. wages, health care and retirement benefits have
sucked the life out of the big 2. combine that with fresh ideas and great
reliability out of asian vehicles and its a caustic mix for survivability
of the unions. im not downing the UAW. in fact i applaude there expertise
in making sure there hierarchy is fully vested even while leaving there
membership hanging out to dry....these advertised labor buyouts only amount
to a few years wages and these rivet poppers thought they were on the gravy
train for life. our society can only absorb so many carpet layers and lawn
care services so what will these people do when the plants really start
closing up?...........Kjun, proud member of the 'Me First' genre.

I can just see the Ford people reading your email and saying "Shit, who
cares if we're losing hundreds of millions of dollars a month, Smitty here
won't buy a Ford because we have to close plants to stay in business. Screw
it, let's open all the plants back up, and go out of business in a year and
screw over ALL our workers. At least Smitty will buy a Ford before we go
under."

Troll.

So how does buying a Subaru help American workers more than buying a Ford?
At least if you bought a Ford, there is some chance that the profits will
flow to an American corporation that might decide to reinvest them here.
Does Subaru offer a salary and benefits comparable to Ford? Is Subaru
supporting retired US workers like Ford is?
