Entry: Fuckity, Fuck, Fuck Fuck... Saturday, October 15, 2005



OK, let's get everyone caught up, shall we?  Delphi did indeed file for Bankruptcy last Saturday.  Ruh-roh, Shaggy.  I don't have a flippin' clue what's going to happen to my job, my dad's job, or the jobs of the other 5,000 people that work for Delphi in my town.  The only thing that works in our favor in this area is that our particular part of Delphi makes money.  Not that that's going to keep them from asking us for a buttload of our pay and benefits back, but it should, at least, keep the doors open and the lights on in our plants. 

Now, let me talk about our new CEO Steve Miller.  What a smug bastard this guy is.  I watched as much of the press conference as our local TV channel saw fit to broadcast, and all I wanted to do is smack the guy upside the head.  Now, I do understand that we, as hourly employees, are going to have to give concessions to make our company viable, but don't stand there and belittle us in defense of your bonus program for the same executives that ran this ship right into the ground.  I'm not buying it.

Now, let's talk about the dumbasses up in Lockport.  This particular plant is sending out flyers telling their people to be prepared to strike the company.  This really isn't a good idea.  If they walk out, all they are going to do is ensure that their plant gets closed.  It already isn't a profitable location, and all of this talk of a work stoppage not only endangers their plant, but others as well.  Mr. Gettlefinger from the UAW needs to sit on these guys and get them to shut up.  Soon.

It's going to be a long process.  I better get some more beer.
