Layoffs at Thomas Built Buses are frightening for High Point/Archdale.
I wonder if this will trigger an effort to de-certify the UAW. The unionization drive of 2003-06 split the work force and left bitter feelings.
Other Freightliner facilities in North Carolina have been hit with major job losses, too.
More coming in High Point? Let's hope not. TBB is a mainstay, the city's largest traditional manufacturing employer.

In my opinion, unions have long outlived their usefulness. If the UAW could be dissolved, I think that would be a major turning point for the big three, in addition to other businesses like Thomas Built Buses.

We are witnessing the downfall of the Roman Empire II. While the goverment spend trillions of dollars of our hard earned money in Iraq our economy goes down the toilet.
We will soon be living in a third world country.
