Question Any one need a job???????????

I just heard Chrysler is Hiring ....seems $20 an hour and up is chump change to some a$$holes and they get full benefits.

I wonder if union worker didn't have to pay Union Dues then what would the Union Leaders do for work????????????

I bet they would be the first in line for a $20 something an hour with full benefits job that just became available.???....

Sorry! I hate those CRY BABIES

This is interesting, and good news for those waiting on a Jeep order.

http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/10/...s/10strike.php

Further down the article you find this statement...

"Its most important new vehicles, a pair of minivans and the Jeep Wrangler, would keep rolling off assembly lines, because the Wrangler factory in Ohio has a separate labor contract and one of the two minivan factories is in Canada."

Default assembly plant Toledo

Hope this is true since I have a 2 door wrangler x on order:

"Workers at Chrysler's biggest Ohio factory, a Jeep assembly plant in Toledo, are covered under a separate labor contract so there won't be a strike there. But a long walkout likely would disrupt production of the Jeep Liberty and Wrangler and the Dodge Nitro at the plant because parts made at other locations may become unavailable."

I hope they break the unions back. The UAW is too stupid to figure out if the bleed the company to death there will be no jobs at all.

Maybe a stupid question. I ordered some Mopar accessories today. Is this strike going to hold me up forever in getting my parts?

I tried putting an order through to the Detroit warehouse, and they sent an answer back stating that all parts are on backorder. The only items they will send are if you put a VOR(vehicle off road) on them. Unfortunately, accessories will not affect the driveability of your vehicle, so you probably won't see them for awhile. Remember, that is just the Detroit warehouse, others may be doing something else. What did your dealer say?

The parts guy here didn't know how it would effect things either.
