Not ONLY are you unbelievably stupid you are a selfish moron. We ARE in this together, I hate to break it to someone even as ignorant as YOU but Ebenezer Scrooge wasnt supposed to be a role model. You arent supposed to WORSHIP him you idiotic punk. This is the difference between a society and a large group of people. If you dont want to pull your weight in this society get off the bus we are trying to have a civilization here and cretins like YOU are dead weight.</description>

Unfortunaly you show once again just how stupid you are. You arent really telling us what we know and dont are you? You are a moron. You dont know ANYTHING that Rush didnt tell you. It is typical for management to take care of themselves at the cost of hurting workers. As for your claim the only class warfare is coming from the left that MAY have been the single STUPIDEST thing ever written in the English language. You are most incredibly ignorant poster that I have ever read. Morons like you think, and I use that term very loosely that widening the gap between the rich and poor ISNT class warfare but pointing out it is happening IS class warfare because you are stupid and brainwashed. You dont have a clue Timmeh. My goldfish knows more about politics than you ever will. Things dont become true just because the congenitally stupid like YOU repeat them.</description>

		<description>RandomChaos, As I tried to explain, many of the white collar workers they will be working.  As an engineer in a large manufacturing plant I have a number of projects that all have deadlines I need to meet.  If the plant shuts down, I will still need to meet them.  I know this because it has happened to me in the past.  I worked at home the best I could and when I was able to get back in the lab, I put in an extra 20 to 30 hours a week.  I&#039;d write more, but I&#039;ve got to go out into the plant and pull a couple of thermocouples.  By the way most days I need a shower after work.</description>

Argus,
    Exempt only means you do not get overtime. It does not mean you get paid for NOT working. Exemption is classified Federally people, so if your position meets the criteria, then you have no argument for getting paid overtime.

		<description>To expand a bit on what Tim Vaculik wrote, in a large manufacturing plant, most of the white collar workers are not in management.  They are as he writes, &quot;exempt,&quot; that is exempt from being required to be paid overtime.  If a project requires 50 or 60 or even more hours a week to complete they get the same pay.  Even if the engineers, buyers, sales peronel, etc. at the plant are not in the office, they will still be required to complete the projects they are assigned when they get back, and will be putting in a lot of extra hours a week to complete them by their deadlines. If Chrysler did dock their pay, they may be able to argue that they are not exempt and are required to be payed overtime.</description>

		<description>I hope all those union bashing people see the value of a union now.  Had there been no union, all those non-white collar workers would&#039;ve been up shit&#039;s creek without a paddle.

They might be up shit&#039;s creek now - but at least they have a paddle or two to try and steer thru the crap.</description>

		<description>Once again, you folks shoot off your collective mouth BEFORE getting all the facts.

First, most (if not all) of you do not understand the difference between exempt, salaried professionals and non-exempt, hourly workers.

Second, just because a car company has to idle some plants doesn&#039;t mean the rest of the business has to grind to a halt!  That would be stupid.

Last, but not least, what&#039;s the problem with attempting to save the company so the workers CAN come back?  Don&#039;t worry, they will be paid a certain amount even if they don&#039;t work.  It&#039;s in their contract.</description>

		<description>Phuck the Wall Street/ Banking bailout. Who needs those incompetents? I for one would not miss them.

Bail out the Auto Companies WITH Teeth attached.
STFU about Unions fault this, fault that.
Get rid of the incompetent WHITE COLLAR workers.
Place Caps on Executive compensation.
MAKE them produce Eco friendly, fuel efficient, alternative energy vehicles NOW.

Oh, and bring our Brave Girls and Boys home from those hellholes in the east and give them jobs in Energy or Automotive Technologies.

There, now eveyone is happy and working (well maybe not the bankers and brokers, but like I said before.. phuckem they made thier beds) except of course the repugs wont be happy, because everyone else is.</description>

		<description>And who still claims that this whole thing is not a concerted effort to screw the union?

The factory workers can go on unemployment, but the office staff will get a paid one month vacation.

Yeah, that&#039;s fair, sure.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d be extremely interested in seeing a breakout of the total salaries for Chrysler&#039;s white collar workers versus the same for Chrysler&#039;s rank and file. 

The US auto industry must be saved. And the Wall Street bail out is its own frickin&#039; flat-out Madoff wet dream of a Ponzi scheme. But for Chryler&#039;s &quot;white collar workers&quot; to engineer a nation-wide plant closing stunt in order to extort money from taxpayers all the while cashing full paychecks for no work...that completely blows. 

Until we address and, better yet, punish such inequities, we&#039;ll have more of the same. 

&lt;strong&gt;-AF&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>If these so-called white collar employees had any morals they would refuse any wages that the workers will not receive. That&#039;s a big &quot;if&quot;.  Eight long, extremely disastrous years have brought us here.  Please America, learn this time.

And a merry xmas, happy hannukah, etc. to the American workers.  Don&#039;t buy sh!t.</description>
