Union built in the USA.

With pride.

The fact these vehicles ever made it to the end user is incomprehensible.

Starting with the brain dead line worker making $24 per hour with full bennies and retirement, to I assume some sort of QC at the factory. Then the distribution center, the technicain who does a pre-delivery inspection at the dealership, to the salesman who test drives the vehicle with a prospective customer, to the end user who actually accepts a vehicle with a massive metal to metal grinding noise when the brakes are applied.

Total fail.

God Bless the USA and our outstanding Unions.

If it weren't for unions, you'd be working 60 hours+ a week for 1/2 the wages and you would have doing this since you were 14!

So yes, God Bless the Unions!

Its hard to tell if this is a one time/one car thing, or a problem with the entire line of vehicles. The article doesn't make that clear. It just says they are all being recalled for inspection.

If its a problem with just one or two cars, then its understandable. It even happens to the Japanese cars on occasion.

If it is a problem with the entire lineup, I doubt the Union had much to do with this. Sounds like their post manufacture inspection process is screwed up. One or two getting out without brake pads is probably an employee screwing up and that could be blamed on the union. But so many getting out means the process is broken.

This is interesting.

In 2011, Toyota was for the third year in a row the automaker with the most recalled vehicles—more than 3.5 million in all, covered by 13 different campaigns. However, it’s worth noting that its totals were a fraction of the total for 2010, when the automaker issued the bulk of its accelerator-related recalls, covering 11.5 million vehicles in all.

And for those of you that recently purchased a Rolls Royce ;)

Rolls-Royces recalled

Lesson: No automaker is excepted when it comes to recalls. Case in point: Rolls-Royce, and its recall of the 2010 Ghost. According to Rolls, a faulty circuit board can cause damage to an auxiliary water pump, potentially starting an engine fire. The issue only covers 599 Rolls-Royce vehicles, with the same problem affecting more than 32,000 BMW models, but here the idea of a recalled Rolls is what stands out.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
