Us and Them – Michigan Style

March 5, 2010
By JGillman

Democrats hoping to turn a recent “discovery” by a maid after a Republican gathering into gold for their party might want to settle down and think about some other things politic.  Excitement over a presentation to Republican leadership should fade fast when put to contrast with Democrat collusion efforts, cover ups and open deceit. ...

Conflict Of Interest.

An anonymous commenter brings this up on MJ Perry’s blog.. At 11/06/2009 12:32 AM, Anonymous said… Why is the UAW allowed to represent the workers at Ford? the UAW is now the de facto owner of GM and Chrysler, courtesy of the US taxpayer via the Obama administration. Representing Ford workers presents a clear...

So.. Michigan dues payers.. Hows it workin for you?

May 13, 2009
By JGillman

You may have heard this, but Chrysler is bankrupt, and GM is soon to follow..  In fact, it could have all happened last year, and might well have served you better in the end. But nope, Your representatives stood by your side and conceded little if anything that would lose you those benefits you’ve...

So what about your representation?

May 8, 2009
By JGillman

Several historic events are developing before our very eyes.  One of them is in regard to the failure of the automakers.  Michigan has had a strong industrial presence in the world partly based on our accessible waterways, and partly the enormity of the manufacture of automotive products as well as the vehicles themselves.  However,...

Some comments made at an Outside Lansing site debate..

January 10, 2009
By JGillman

These are my own, because I feel they pretty much nail down the essence of where I stand.. The debate is one which former Clinton appointee, UAW attorney and current northeastern Michigan resident Leonard Page addresses Chetly Zarko and his comments with regard to the Black Lake facility.  I believe there is a bit...

UAW may have more answering to do…

January 4, 2009
By JGillman

There are apparent irregularities in the financial statements of the UAW holding companies. One of which operates the Black Lake golf course and education center in Cheboygan county Michigan.  It has been reported that the Black Lake property has suffered losses of Tens of Millions, however records indicate the numbers might hide something more...

The Fun Part About Financial Disaster…

December 31, 2008
By JGillman

OK the title is only slightly misleading… Financial ruin of an industry is hardly fun for those who get caught in the cogs of the machine. It is the DISCOVERY of truth which is rightfully enjoyable. The UAW has certainly seen more prosperous days for its members, and has most decidedly taken advantage of...

Decency

December 16, 2008
By JGillman

I opine. I am hardly fair, offering opposing viewpoints voluntarily while writing here.  It isnt my responsibility, and frankly I allow the comments to post as they post. (only moderating to keep the spammers out)  I will be critical as I see fit.  But to translate my belief that government has not the obligation...

Regulatory Climate is the True Culprit.

December 13, 2008
By JGillman

I have written in prior posts on the benefits of reducing a regulatory environment to promote business, and still stand on the assertion that for every bill passed into law by congress and a capitulating Presidential signature, there are several businesses breaking out the padlocks for their front doors.  We CANNOT continue to support...

Automakers and Government.. History and Truth Seeking

December 6, 2008
By JGillman

The Automakers face a number of issues which in my opinion are hardly solvable by MORE government solutions. When Iacocca turned Chrysler around in the 80s, it was by innovation and a “bailout” loan by government which also required additional private financing and external arrangements… Compromises were made by the auto workers, management, and...
