What "horrific build quality"? I challenge you to go to a Ford, GM and Chrysler dealer and find any new car build quality issues & then report them, in detail, to this list!

Also last I knew no UAW member ever had to pay a cent for healthcare or retirement and would scream bloody murder if it was suggested they could shoulder some burden... What good is a great contract if the company you work for goes out of business? Now I'll also grant that the CEO should not be making multi-millions if the company is going under, I'm a big proponent of performance-pay packages. Unfortunately those still get out of control. Who really needs more than about a half million a year? Of course I also think that theres no need for any car to have more than about 100hp and very few people need a truck with more than 200hp... -Curt Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 20:38:18 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] MB "quality" vs the rest To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" <snip> Do you honestly believe that the third replacement of the driver's seat memory module (last month) in my own car is the fault of the person (no doubt a member of IG Metall) who installed the original unit at Sindelfingen or Bremen or the dealer tech who has installed the replacements? <Snip> Your insulting remark, claiming that the unions and the workers don't care about quality is pure baloney. After all, their jobs depend on customer sales and when they go to the competition, guess who's out of work. Not the CEO and his board of directors.
