swoosh! of starlite email: @: Alynn, there is a great likelihood that there is no crack waiting for me at the postoffice. Mail, especially from Ohio, doesn't get here in 3 days! Mail to Bishop gets routed through San Bernardino, then Fresno, back down to Bakersfield, then to Mojave, up to Reno, then over to Modesto, where it's hitched to a mule for the rest of the journey over the sierras. Besides, the PO closes in 4 minutes. I can't get down the hill that fast :-/ I'll get there for sure on Wednesday though! :-)

andrew of lyons,CO email: @: tina...that much touted $70+/hr figure for current workers includes costs of pension and benefits of retired workers (legacy costs). since honda, toyota, etc haven't been in the us long enough to build a large retirement population, and their japanese workers enjoy the benefit of government paid healthcare, this puts the big three at a huge disadvantage in costs. factor into that the hundreds of millions of incentive dollars plus huge tax breaks awarded to the foreign auto companies by states such as alabama, tennessee, ets to locate in their states. as far as actual in difference wages and benefits paid to big three employees vs foreign auto co employees, the true figure is less than $5/hr. subtract the uaw dues and it shrinks even more. take the uaw out of the equation and all wages will fall dramatically, since the honda, toyota, et al, salaries were set, based on the big three's level.

Phats of email: @: Fact is the Big three are paying benefits to literally hundreds of thousands of retirees. As of a year ago, Toyota's entire U.S. operation had less than 1,000 retirees. Compare that to a company like General Motors, which has been around for more than a century and which supports literally hundreds of thousands of former workers and spouses.
