Not to build the wildly unsuccessful Saturn vehicle of course, but something will begin to roll off the assembly lines, if the Union signs the agreement agreed to by negotiators in Detroit. And they will, because it's sweet. GM caved, big-time.
The UAW and GM just signed a new labor contract. The UAW, with new president Bob King, bent GM over a convenient table and raped the greasy little bitch for all’s it’s worth; securing a $5K signing bonus for each employee re-hired, no movement towards easing the pension burden, and no sharing of the health care costs. And re-opening the ill-fated Saturn plant in Spring Hill (there’s feints within feints there; the Unions need a foothold in a right-to-work State, to push for unions with card check &c. at Nissan and Volkswagen). Absolutely a full win for the UAW, and unions.
It was expected, GM being on the government dole for so long, there was no maneuvering or bargaining positions to exploit. How could GM cross Obama’s Army, since Obama still has GM by the short hairs ?
I'm afraid the plant, if it reopens at all, will be short-term, and GM is still not viable long-term. GM did not get any concessions from the Union on pensions or the sharing of health care costs. How could they demand any concessions? They had been bailed out by Obama, subsidized by taxpayers; by you and me and every other sucker paying for the Obama- GM bailout. How could GM demand that reasonable cuts in pensions and the sharing of health care costs be structured in a sensible contract and agreed to by Union thugs, who are Obama's Army? There's no way GM was negotiating from a position of strength. Instead, the company's fate is sealed. It's just a matter of time.
Bob King wasted no time; he started slobbering all over Obama right away...
Bad, bad news for GM. When the Unions win as big as they've won, businesses lose, and eventually will need bailing out again by Papa DocBama.
Next time, when it comes to GM needing a bailout, let's hope that it's past Obama's time in office, and there isn't a bailout to be had. Let GM restructure by bankruptcy as should have happened already; break the unions, recalibrate the plants for profitability. Basically, start from scratch.
Now, sell the American people on GM, after this debacle. Let's see how many people vote with their pocketbooks. Won't be me buying a GM product, at least not a new one.
I'll start a clock. Let's see how long this weak, kneecapped donkey will run.

Officials at G.M. and the union declined to discuss specific terms of the deal. But people briefed on the negotiations said that workers would receive a signing bonus of $5,000 in lieu of cost-of-living wage increases. Entry-level workers, who are paid about $14 an hour, are expected to receive an increase of $2 to $3 an hour.
The company has also agreed to reopen its idled assembly plant in Spring Hill, Tenn., the people said.
The U.A.W.’s tentative, four-year agreement with G.M., announced late Friday, also opens the door for the automaker to bring back laid-off workers and move jobs back into the United States.

Mr. King took the unusual step of acknowledging the Obama administration’s support of the industry in his statement: “None of this would have been possible without the efforts of President Obama, who invested federal funds to help turn the company around, protect the auto supplier base and keep good-paying jobs in America.”
