I would consider myself more of a liberal, but yet i dont believe in the way you portray them, and i certainly dont link liberals to socialists. And yes your right, everyone has choices in most things in our lives, we dont have choices in who are parents are, or to what schools we might get...

And you, ur just funny, you act as though people envy you and ur job choices, Id take my job back at GM over your choices any day of the week, you have nothing but smart a** remarks to give.

No not everyone has a choice, how do you even think that. are you living in a different world?, and im not angry, but i dont understand how you think everyone has the same opportunties in this life cause that no where near the truth. Someone who grows up in a getto area does not have the same...

Yea, god forbid a human being does something stupid in this world, if a company choses to HELP someone with a problem then good for them, that doesnt mean they are being taken care of or that the company is being responsible for them, it means they care enough to help someone that has a problem...

First, the workers on the floor do not vote in International positions, only local positions. They have some convention to vote in International jobs, kinda rigged? you bet If Fraser made those comments to someone who would repeat them, then he s a jerk and a few other choice names, but...

Really? and you never drove over the speed limit on purpose?

I know what your saying, I have seen so many managers having back surgeries, knee surgeries, shoulder sugeries from standing on concrete all day and from the type of repetive motions they have to do yr after yr. Or maybe it was the asbestos they had to work in yr after yr, i cant remember. Yea...

Ever get a ticket while driving your truck? if you did then you shouldnt be driving, you broke the law, GONE!!!!

I bet it was MANY DAYS you took 2 hrs n SOME YOU TOOK NONE AT ALL, hahaha, j/k joe And the drinking n drugging has been addressed very seriously now in the auto plants

Guess it depends on if you consider drinking n drugging a disease or not, some do. I have seen positive results for some on rehab, wouldnt fire someone for having cancer would you? but i know, thats up for debate. everything doesnt have to be black n white you know.

Really, that strict eh? If a trucker breaks the law, fire him, regardless if its speeding, running a stop sign, bypassing a weigh statio, fire them. they broke the rules, they broke the law, fire them. And the guy you spoke to speaks for all? get real, he was a jerk. In 31 yrs i never showed my...

employees getting high and getting caught and only getting a week off and nothing else, that doesnt happen anymore that i know of. Thats what i meant doesnt fly

Bet that was awhile ago, that no longer flies layout

I had friends that were truckers to, but i really didnt give them the credit they deserved untill i had to be on the road and as i said, walk a mile in their shoes, I now have more respect for what they go through.

I didnt say they were mistreated but i did say they probably really dont care what others think

To be honest, most could care less how you view them, its a job, a good paying job, view them as you wish, but your view is wrong. As far as the union goes, thats there job, but dont think you dont hear about it from the union, you get an ear full, trust me, i know. Again, till you walk in...

Some good questions there, If you get injured on the job and they suspect drug or drinking involved the employee is subject to a drug test. What some people fail to realize is not everyone is cut out to work in a factory so therefore they have some things like rehab for employees as the training...

There is wording about being under the influence, I doubt they will just be slapped on the hand for this as the rules have changed, probably have to go to rehab, then they will be subject to random drug tests to keep there jobs. The rules of 20 yrs ago no longer apply. As far as what Greg posts...

Your lumping all the employees together again, most people in the factories are hard working and dont do drugs. The plant I worked at brought in undercover police and 30 people got fired and never got the jobs back. Your making this seem like its all employees in the plant, thats like saying...
