On GM plant to cut more production

Snarly-You're right, now my husband will have to go get a job for less money. (Just like he had before GM called out of the blue and offered him a job based on an application he had sent in 5 yrs prior.) I've stated before that we have/do/and will continue to live in the real world when this is all said and done. As for the boohoo comment, it's funny that not yet have I seen any whining or complaining or crying from anyone that is a GM employee.

I just feel the need to stand up for myself. My husband has been at the plant since 2000. Where were we before that? Well we were both working at factories with not so great wages. When we got the call out of the blue that he was being offered a job, we were grateful! We know what it is like to live in hard times, so I do believe we were, are and will still be living in the real world when this is all over. We feel "entitled" to nothing. I work part-time now and am glad I can, but have NO problem getting a full-time job again if I need to. We were able to buy a home, own a car and provide better for our children. Our home could maybe sell for $110000, we have no "toys" and our four children get their clothes from Target, Old Navy, Kohls. If my husband no longer has a job then so be it. We are so grateful for what we have and know God will provide for us. He may not find us another job with the same pay, but we don't NEED that. We've lived before with low income and are not afraid to again. My husband works hard for his money with long hours and physical jobs that are hard on his back. I know what it's like to work hard for less pay, so we are just thankful that he gets what he does. It's just hard to hear so much negatives about the GM workers and say nothing.

Sure, they have commented, but not to complain. If they did complain, it was probably only due to ridiculous comments about them complaining, which they haven't done. I don't believe anyone has made any comments either about not caring about those even greater affected. GM employees DID NOT ask for the numerous articles highlighting them.
