Re: Strike is over!!!
If people keep striking GM, the next job they may have with GM will be in Mexico or in the USA working for Toyota.

Contrary to popular disbelief, Toyota and the rest of the transplanted plants in the US pay within a couple of dollars an hour of what GM, Ford and Chrystler do. Benifits are comperable also. Toyota only has about 1000 retires in the US. If they made substantialy less, they would have joined the UAW long ago. The latest on Toyota is they have been making record profits and are now looking to cut wages and benifits of its US workforce. This has been verified.
It might not be in the distant future, they could be looking to the UAW for help.

I wish them luck.
The Tundra plant is in San Antonio and Texas is a Right to Work state, which seems to have just about castrated the Unions' power here.

Shreveport,Louisiana right to work state.
Fairfax Kc, Kansas right to work state.
Arlington, Texas right to work state.
Probably more but just a start. All above GM plants and all union.
Can be done.
