You don't understand, Alan...This is America, shit rolls downhill, you
NEVER blame management, it's always the guy at the bottom of the hills fault.
When I was laid off from Federal Mogul here in VA, that's all I heard from relatives, friends and neighbors about how we "did it to yourselves", "the union" was to blame for the plant closing.......it was a
non-union plant.
The reason the company went bankrupt was due to sloppy acquisitions----they bought up some brake companies that were carrying nearly 3 billion in asbestos liabilities.

Tell me something; How is ANY of that
MY fault?
They're brainwashed, my friend. You won't convince them of anything. Every plant closing is because of "the union"
even when there are no unions invloved. I know it's true, Limbaugh and Beck et al told me so, and they are the great beacon of truth................
