why do employees have to be so badmind. dont they see they are ultimately hurting themselves? i mean, if GM goes broke...whos gonna pay them/. and considering current economic problems,..where are they gonna work? they need to settle themselves, for their own benefit.

GM is not gonna go broke over SENIORITY PLACEMENT.
Here's a better question. If manufacturing workers are devalued to the point where they can't afford their mortgages (see current housing crisis) or even those shiny kmart-quality cars GM pushes out, who will be left to buy their product? Showrooms will become musems at the rate things are going. But hey, GM will have a niiiice profit margin...if anybody were left to buy their cars.

People with, you know, skills to work in jobs other than an assembly line can and will buy their product.
I'd love to see a complete phase-out of unskilled labor--just replace them with machines. It'll create skilled jobs for the engineers needed to create them.
