Want Satellite Radio: Boycott Delphi products!!!
As you know Delphia is trying to force their employees to take serious cuts in both their salary and health benefits. Essentially they want to move working class families into the poverty level.

We can help - we can boycott Delphi products. If they do this to their employees you better believe I will make it a point to never buy any of their products including their XM radio equipment (I'm thinking of getting XM - I hope there is another manufacturer)

1. Hmmm...so if they sell zero products, won't they go out of business?
Then no one will have a job.

Rock and a hard place, I know. But...there are always at least two sides to every issue.

2. they won't sell zero products with China fast becoming the consumer
market. Chinese won't care about their labor policies since such policies are the norm in China and Delphi has openly stated their intent is to bring US wages more in line with overseas.

Give up your lifestyle or give up your livelihood...end of story.

3. Like I said, rock and hard place.
Have a shitty job or have no job - those appear to be your choices.

5. hey sweetie!!
:hi:

It's a rock/hard place situation but if I can put a few CEOs out of business all the better.

If management can't figure out how to do this so they don't have to cut salaries time to sell and find someone who will

6. Looks like I'll be buying the Pioneer radio instead...
Which actually isnt a bad thing considering I've had quite a few Pioneer products that have held up quite nicely over the years.

8. Full disclosure - I was given a Delphi product as a gift.
So, if you see me with it, just know that I didn't pay for it. ;)
