Too big or too stupid to fail? Wonder if the engineer who designed that caliper went to a gub'ment school?

Ehhh...this is done all the time. Lexus used to put a big hunk of rubber on its engines for lower vibrations. Weights are put on driveshafts, drums, wheels etc. etc. etc. Those don't seem to fall off.

sorry, but the unions served their purpose and now they're choking the life out of the industry.... paying someone $75/hour to put bolts on all day is kinda dumb...

I think that number is based on total benefits divided by workforce or something. In other words, the actual take pay is $20 an hour, toss in all the benefits (pension, health insurance, misc crap) and total compensation per employee is say $55 then they toss on some legacy labor cost and blamo you end up with $75 an hour being quoted.

Poor management is the reason these companies are where they are. Not unions. Too many models, too small of market shares. They arent paying anyone, anything near 75$/hr... wish you people could understand this. 75$/hour per employee, is them including pensioned members, benefits, etc, squarely on the backs of the employees. |
