Outsourcing and Unions: Reality Check

Filed under: New Car Models — Administrator @ 1:54 pm

The Union Auto Workers have priced themselves out of a job in many parts of our country and companies like Delphi, General Motors and Ford are moving factories to places like Jarez, Mexico, just over the border. Delphi says it will move 20 automotive part-making plants there. General Motors, which already has many there will be moving 8 or more within the next 3-5 years.

The central philosophy behind Ju-jitsu is to conquer an opponent by any and all means – as long as only minimal force is used. Consequently, this precept demands from its followers a strict conformity to various disciplines – both mental and physical.

Philosophy:

The art of Ju-jitsu is interpreted as being the “science of softness”. Translated literally, ju means gentle or soft and jitsu means art. While referred to as “a gentle art”, some of the techniques are nevertheless extremely dynamic in their delivery and would appear to be anything but soft.

There are many stories regarding the origins of Ju-jitsu, dating as far back as the 8th century, with historical lines indicating roots even before the time of Christ. While some claim that Ju-jitsu originated in China, the ancient chronicles of Japan describe how, in AD 712, Tatemi Kazuchi threw Tatemi Nokami, like throwing a leaf. Reference is also made in the Nihon Sho-ki chronicles to the Emperor Shuinjin holding a martial arts tournament to celebrate the 7th year of his reign in 23 BC. One of the bouts resulted in the death of a participant, a Sumo wrestler, who was thrown to the ground and kicked by Nomino Sukume. These accounts provide evidence of early “empty hand” techniques in Japan. There is also reference to Ju-jitsu developing as an art from the work of a Buddhist monk, dating back to the 13th century. These ancient techniques were known as kumi-tachi (or yawara), which is described in the Konjaku-monogatari, a Buddhist work dating back to that time.

Although the basic principle behind modern Ju-jitsu as a self defence art is to conquer an opponent using minimal force, the older art of Ju-jitsu focused on literally annihilating the enemy, which led to the development of many dangerous and fatal techniques.

Most Unions are completely upset that there are so many jobs headed offshore and to foreign lands. We have jobs slipping away from America to China and India, who together have over 2 Billion people who want jobs very badly and will work for under $3.00 per day.

In 1996 GM dropped the word ‘truck’ from the GMC Truck name, thus creating the GMC name as we know it today. There never was a Grabowski Motor Company or a Grabowski Motor Corp.

GM’s headquarters are in the Renaissance Center in Detroit, Michigan.

The current chairman (since May 1, 2003) and chief executive officer (since June 1, 2000) is Rick Wagoner, succeeding John F. Smith, Jr.

They now make personal automobiles, as well as pickup truck and bus engines.

What most people don’t know is that GMC also makes cars.

In 1902 Max Grabowski founded a company called the “Rapid Motor Vehicle Company”, which developed some of the earliest commercial trucks ever designed. In 1909 the company was bought by General Motors to form the basis of the General Motors Truck Company, from which GMC Truck was made. In 1912 the name “GMC Truck” was first shown at the New York Auto Show.
