VIDEO: Lansing Mayor takes out frustration on TV reporter {Autoblog}
Feb 20th 2009 5:44PM wow, sounds like someone's back pocket is quite full.
totally agree, that health care should end when work ends. Why should Auto Industry fund UAW when other corps don't fund their union & non union workers post employment?
the problem with health care in the US is not a problem for the Auto Industry to fix/fund, it's a govt w/ regulations issue.
What happened to Unions in the USA? They originated as a voice for the workers for safety & health while on the job....now it's focus is on keeping all jobs.
UAW should not be supporting pay of members who are not working. If UAW members are on furlough, they should be paid, but not beyond a certain number of days.
Jobs aren't for life anymore, the UAW & other unions need to grasp this concept.
So long, Northwest 747's {Gadling}
Jan 14th 2009 11:24PM still concerned though, as Delta has take the approach if you don't use your miles in 1yr they'll cancel them. I have too many to use in 1 yr. Must get rid of them ASAP.

2008's best travel writing {Gadling}
Dec 23rd 2008 9:59AM I picked up this book about a month or two ago. I tend to pickup each years edition, & probably picked up this because Tony Bourdain is the celeb editor.
I'm not sure if it's because of Tonys' rye sense of humor, but this grouping of articles has a lot different approach then previous editions.
The stories are less about appealing to the masses, and are about places where the general populous aren't likely to go. Which maybe the reason I like it so much, I'm currently reading the article about going up the river in the Congo.
Definitely read Tony's introduction(too many people skip this section), he talks of some books I couldn't read (primarily b/c they were about whiny writers). And I'm not sure who wrote it Tony or the other editor - but I at least feel it's true, that when you travel awhile and come "home" you feel out of place.
Ten annoying First Class passenger habits {Gadling}
Nov 5th 2008 3:15PM perfect - I'm also amazed by the people who on the long haul International flights; who instead of wearing a "sleep suit" wear their own pajamas or just take off their shirt and sleep in their sleeveless undershirt.
oh, when you're on a 747 and you do have a infant upfront, keep them downstairs. upstairs is supposed to be quieter.

Oct 20th 2008 1:42PM I've had one of these umbrellas since the 80s, they work well; but are quite bit heavier then you'd expect.
