The CEOs and management agreed to those union contracts, all the while paying themselves several millions dollars per year to run the companies into the ground.   Who can blame a union for negotiating the best contracts possible for it's members? THAT'S THE JOB OF A UNION!   All t...more

Stefano-Get a clue. If you are buying used cars you are not helping any manufacturer. Buy whatever you want, it's your money. If you want to spend it on car repairs be my guest. Your mechanic will love you.   I would also check out the reliability of those GM vehicles you mention. I doubt if they are very good. I kn...more
