GM and Chrysler: Don't Destroy American Jobs
Greetings,
General Motors and Chrysler took more than $60 billion of
American taxpayers’ money in the bailout.
This huge sum was given under the condition that the
companies restructure themselves so that they focus on saving
good American jobs and creating fuel-efficient cars.
So why are these companies charging American consumers
mandatory “destination fees” of up to $900, or more,
which have no relation to the actual cost of transporting the
vehicle?
Worse yet, GM and Chrysler are not living up to their pledge
and are throwing professional auto delivery drivers onto the
unemployment lines. They are replacing them with carriers using
less reliable drivers at substandard pay. Some of these
“alternative” carriers are hauling new cars with
flat bed trucks or other transporters not designed to protect
new cars over long distances.
American taxpayers will be asked to pay for the greed of the
auto giants a second time when they pick up the costs for more
unemployment, more foreclosures and more ruined working
families.
Please take action now and ask the members of Congress
overseeing the bailout to demand that these companies live up to
their promises and stop gouging consumers and destroying good
middle-class jobs.
Send a letter to the following decision maker(s):
Chrysler Executives
GM Executives
House Financial Services Committee
NADA Executives with email
Representative Steny Hoyer (if you live in Congressional District 5)
Representative Steven LaTourette (if you live in Congressional District 14)
Below is the sample letter:
Subject: GM and Chrysler: Don't Destroy American Jobs
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
The American taxpayers bailed out Chrysler with $14 billion and General Motors with $50 billion of our hard-earned wages. This bailout was meant to save jobs and allow deserving American corporations to survive.
But now both GM and Chrysler want to throw professional auto delivery drivers onto the unemployment lines and replace them with carriers using less reliable drivers. Many of these replacement drivers come with little experience, inadequate training, no accountability, and inadequate equipment. Some of them are hauling new cars with flat bed trucks or other equipment which is not designed to protect new cars over long distances.
GM and Chrysler are betraying the faith of the American taxpayers who thought GM and Chrysler would repay them with gratitude and loyalty instead of greed.
Please tell GM and Chrysler to stop destroying families and stop dumping loyal American workers.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
