Or does that make too much sense for GM?

GM is already making Opels/Vauxhalls here in America in the forms of certain Saturns (Aura, Astra, and Sky I believe). Shouldn't be too hard.

Can worker who is skilled specifically to F series trucks be able to build a smaller car?

(sarcasm and slight curiosity are both in that question)

f-series is ford right?

In other auto union news

Mexican Auto workers agree to pay cuts, some making as little as $1.50.......

This has got to make the UAW and CAW pretty pissed, considering how hard they fight for higher wages.

LOL, that is hilarious. I've worked in numerous auto plants throughout North America, and have listened to many many Union workers in the US/Canada b!tch about how bad they have it. On the flip side, I've worked in 2 (Ramos Arizpe GM, and Hermasillo Ford) Plants in Mexico, and the employees there are just grateful to have a job...hell there are people standing outside the plant waiting to get in to work.

Well, the thing that bothers me is that when I was watching the news last night they were all blaming it on greedy businessmen, and not the reality that in fact, they were being quite generous by leaving the plant open as long as they did as its been clear for a while that sales would seriously decline.

They aren't greedy, there is just no market for the products you guys are making! WTF

Hopefully, you're right.

Exactly. Modern day unions are fucking worthless.

Looks like GM is now suing the CAW for their dumbass blockade.
