The following comments about the H-D Strike, are from a lady who is one of the workers there….

Robin has this to say….. “Harley Davidson says this contract is for the good of the company and we must make concessions. What kind of concessions did the upper managment make? Why ask the people that have made them rich to sacrifice for corporate greed. Every quarter for 20 yrs has had record earnings and profits but the union employees are expected to take a loss.

Check the history of the stock options of the CEO’s. The VP of the york plant was seen and heard on the floor early in the week telling people they would never strike because hourly employess live pay check to pay check. This is the perfect example of the arrogance in upper managment and the disrespect managment has for the people actually making the motorcycles that make them rich.”

My own view on this is that its a typical case of screw the workers more, so the wealthy stockholders can make even more money. No-one can argue about the financial success H-D have had recently….but I guess in their kind of business, more is never enough! What do you think?
