I don't think for a second that turning around Chrysler is the end goal. I think cutting the costs enough to spark a short term share spike is the goal, with the intent of the private owners to sell at the peak and bail out with a few pennies. Long term growth is something I don't think any of them desire.<BR/><BR/>To truly effect change would require breaking the UAW, which is the 800 lb. gorilla of unions, as you know. Nardelli may be a professional vampire, but he can't kill the UAW and he knows it.<BR/><BR/>Welch kills me ... after reading a half a dozen books on why he was the best thing that ever hit GE, seeing him like this, commenting on the sidelines and almost cheering the bloodletting about to begin, is kind of strange.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24998935.post-82480496656373408152007-08-09T18:27:00.000-06:002007-08-09T18:27:00.000-06:00"Chrysler between the Scylla of the UAW's bloodsuc..."Chrysler between the Scylla of the UAW's bloodsucking demands and the Charybdis of horrific infrastructure costs."<BR/><BR/><BR/>that fact that you weaved scylla and charybdis into an apropos comment is a subtle reminder to me to never play Scrabble with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
