Jackson-sometimes your postings are contradictory-so please explain your basis for: "Janesville GM workers should support this union that is striking, not complain that they are on strike." But before you explain-chew on this: If, as you say, GM workers make Janesville a dark spot (or whatever your expression) because of their laziness, along with your other related insults concerning GM workers getting a large percentage of usual pay while laid off-WHY would they complain about the American Axle strike if it keeps them OFF work with good pay? Which is it, and what is your basis for this remark (besides self-indulgent hate)? Do not create your own scenarios to support your personal attacks.

I seem to reacal an artical several weeks ago about new medical facility going in. Lots of people questioned where would they find the staff to fill it. Well if you have the chance to go back to school, look into the medical field. That is where the jobs are. Its hard to oursource a nurse or medical technician.

most people do not understand. Look back 30 yrs. GM has been in about the same position over the years. High gas prices , trying to sell outdated autos & trucks to a saturated market. Only recently the imports are really a threat.Yea you can go back to school but where are the jobs then.
Times are bad and getting worse fast. What happened to gay primers wisdom ?? this will be removed

Unidentified: I know for certain that Lear's employee's are going to be getting their unemployment and also the option to go back to school. My sister-n-law works there and is looking into going back to school as soon as she is out of a job.

I have to say Janesville GM workers should support this union that is striking, not complain that they are on strike. If you think they should not stand up for what they believe in, then you should trade jobs to take there benefits, and they will take yours. This is why people do not care much for GM workers, because if it is not going to benefit them then it should not happen. I remember a few years ago Lear employee's wanted to strike but the union told them no because that would shut GM down, and hurt those workers. So the lear boys had to eat mud.

Suppliers like Lear or LSI do not get any additional benefits beyond unemployment I might add.

Sure, we can build them, but with gas at $4, will they come?

I don't think production is at 50 percent completely because of the American Axle strike. There is no longer enough demand to put workers back to work in Janesville. The second shift is being eliminated due to slow sales of full size SUV's. GM's move to lay off workers also takes bargaining power away from the striking workers.
