James, the more I read your posts the more I like your thinking. Can you ask your friend to make a stop in the paint dept with those shirts?  |

James - You didn't have to send the shirts. It looks like you might still need them when it fails and we vote again! 
If anyone wants one of the shirts James sent, stop by my team desk (F-39) and I'll be happy to give you one when I receive them. |

No problem James, please give him my phone number and ask him to contact me. I'd like to see if he can hold one shirt for me! 
Thanks again! |

|
|
"This company has had ups and downs. Its future is unpredictable," said Gerald Meyers, a former auto company chief executive and a management professor at the University of Michigan. "If there is any view, it's a downside view."
Meyers said the union workers don't trust Cerberus.
"The distrust is probably warranted," he said. "It's clear to me and clear to everybody that Cerberus is loaded. They can come up with whatever is necessary, and they don't need concessions."
Bloomberg News, October 24, 2007.
Meyers was president and CEO of American Motors from 1977-1983. |
