Boy...you have that right.

Here's a good one. There is a GM plant not too far away from my house. The last time they offered buyouts, 800 out of 1100 took the buyout. Guess what? There weren't enough workers to run the factory anymore, so GM turned around and hired half the old workers back as temps to run the place. They gave them all their benefits and compensation back also. The difference? They couldn't join the union as temps. Although some have been working as temps so long, they apparently are eligible to join the union again!

You would THINK somebody would have thought of this before offering the buyout to all those workers.
