Delphi is a prime example of corporate greed and ineffiency ! When General motors spun Delphi off they loaded the company up with corporate debt ! They took the state of Alabama to the cleaners ! Then they took the federal government to the cleaners also ! If Honda, Nissan and Mercedes can build cars in our country and do quite well why is GM such a failure ??

GM's problems were due to a combination of poor management decisions and inflated wages driven by the UAW.

Good to see that HB 56 really is not giving Alabama the bad name that some in the press are claiming.

Agree with Clifton and Thomas E. Correct and well said.

the union killed GM. that is where the greed came from. the union was a good thing years ago but over time they became greedy and didn't allow GM to get rid of the poor performing employees and all you ended up with was a bunch of lazy do-nothings that GM could not fire because of the union. the union killed GM.

THE UNIONS ARE CORRUPT JUST LIKE 90% OF OUR POLITICIANS. W/O CIVIL WAR ONLY WE CAN CHANGE IT BY CONVINMCEING THOSE WHO WANT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE GOVT THAT IT WONT LAST AND WILL RESULT IN CIVIL WAR . DO YOUR PART TO CHANGE THIS BEFOR THAT--TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBORS. THINK ABOUT 1 THING FOLKS NOW DAYS UNION LEADERS DRAW BIG BUCKS,PERKS FROM YOU THE WORKER FOR DOING NOTHING BUT KEEPING THE WHEEL TURNING THAT YOU PAY FOR---THE NON PRODUCTIVE AND POOR PERFORMERS IS WHO THE UNIONS KEEP WORKING--THOSE OF YOU WHO PRODUCE KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND YOUR SUPPORTING THE LAZIES. GET A BACKBONE ---JOIN RIGHT TO WORK BELIEVERS
