Sorry about the absence. It all has to do with a cold that I caught before Christmas and just has had the temerity to linger and not leave.
Toss in a few Nyquil fueled dreams, and you can figure out where my focus has been. Certainly not in writing anything that has been lumbering around in my head. Unless you are interested in OTC drug dreams.
Back to it.
In following what is happening in my home state of Michigan I came across this little tidbit last week. The UAW and GM are meeting for contract talks.
Now doesn’t that send chills down your spine?
Just when the state, hell the nation, needs for things to go without a hitch for the Big 3 Automakers you have to toss in a contract negotiation.
The UAW has a no strike clause in their current contract. That contract expires in September of 2011. GM and Chrysler have until December of 2011 to pay back the loans that they received from the Federal Government. Which leaves everyone in a weird situation.
The UAW and the car companies have got to come out of these negotiations with a plan to keep the companies whole, and healthy.
Anything less, any petty bickering will kill them all.
In my opinion.
Namaste.
