You must be one of the 25,000 that GM is laying off. That would explain some of the animosity and hatred.

I here there's plenty of hiring at US plants . . . that make Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans . . .
True, they're hiring ... at about 1/2 the wage (or less). And normally you must first hire on as a temp, then suffer under their system for a while before you might get hired full time.
And FYI, US auto workers don't hate the Toyotas and Hondas because they make good products,
they hate these companies because their countries do not practice unhindered free trade ! It's no wonder we have such huge trade imbalances, considering the tariffs and taxes that are lobbed upon US autos.
