I refuse to watch network News mainly because Fox News is anti Union/Labor and the rest highly exagerate their stories.

texas is also a right to work state and look how thats going. turn over is so great down there because people see how tough the job is and leave right away. and a shift was never canceled or delayed because the packers played

Ya know, i've been reading all this stuff and its rather comical. but what it boils down to is this. each plant has a 50-50 shot at re-opening wether you negative nellies want to admit it or not. however its not our decision. its Detroits. Do they know who? of coarse,and prolly have for quite a while now. do they want a plant whos state government is suing them for unused training funds and whos state senator favors toyota? or do they want an older plant in which they could immediately call back layed off workers (prolly from area hire as per contract) as needed for the line AND hire locals to fill the 2nd tier to make it a true tier plant? you have to look at the pros and cons and it seems no one is doing that. one plant is body on frame and the other is unibody. one would give GM huge profit per vehicle, the other is a newer plant. i'm headed back to Ft Wayne tomorrow so yea, i went back to work. do i have a choice to come back? yea i do but i won;t get into that. i'll be watching and waiting like the rest of ya. i'll also be laughing quite a bit, some of the posts are hilarious. Detroit already knows-they are just trying to get more out which state wants it bad enough. it alaso depends on WHAT the demand is for. they kept one of each type of plant on stand by. time will tell who gets it.
On GM considering reopening a plant

If Janesville DOES re open it will be a 2 tier plant. transfers will fill the line and local hire prolly for the tier 2 jobs. will it happen? maybe..... Detroit has just said a plant MAY open and not specified which. it depends on what they have demand for or what they forsee as needed to meet demend. i do know the plant is still up to code so that won't be a problem. we just have to wait and see.

jacmower: when i got laid off in 2009 unemployment in this area was over 18%. it was that way for over the 7 months i constantly looked. a few of my friends got lucky. i wasn;t. being a tradesperson, there was absolutely nothing in this area and its worse now in my field with good ole scotty in office. he has NOT lived up to his pledge. he HAS succeeded in making this state a laughing stock. i soooooo look forward to the day when i can come back and rejoin my wife and kids at home, but it ain't gonna be while he's in office.
