Well, at least GM is doing something positive with OUR money this time and all bias aside, the Buffalo (Tonawanda) GM Powertrain facility is and always has been a flagship production facility for GM. It is touted as the premier employee/management facility. These people all got on the same page a long time ago. I'm not getting into a union discussion (pro or against) but suffice it to say that the local UAW negotiated very well- fairly and above the board- and were smart enough to look at the overall economy and play their cards with foresight and grace. They were rewarded with the upcoming Eco-line of engines to the tune of $425 million and now, yesterday, officially again rewarded with the new gen V8 at a cost of over another $400 million. Good for them.
Oh, and thank you all for paying for it.
