Default Re: Mattel Inc. worth more than G.M.

It isn't just the Unions. The Management is horrible too. My wife just retired from GM with 31 years on the trades. I could tell you true stories that would make you sick. The skilled trades are a joke. I can tell you about workers getting paid 7 days, 12 hours for doing nothing but sleeping. Management and the highest in- plant Union reps knew it. I personally called and spoke to the Assistant Plant Manager, the head of Human Resources and the Lead Engineer of the plant. I told them where they were sleeping, who they were, who their supervisors were, and asked ALL of them to do something. Not a one of them did. This went on for 2 years. I have waited until my wife got out of there to say anything, due to the repercussions she would of gotten. There are skilled trade people that punch in, leave and come back to punch out everyday. The minorities get away with more so, because the supervisors are afraid of the race card that is played all the time. I could write a book about the stuff that goes on in the factories. I have said for years shut them all down and start over.
