Video BMW Union Workers in California Fight Back

The showdown between BMW and the 68 union workers set to lose their jobs on August 31 at the Bavarian firms distribution plant in Ontario, California, continues to escalate after Teamster members and their families protested outside 50 BMW dealerships in 11 states in the beginning of the month.
Today, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters that represents the soon-to-be-laid-off employees said union members of the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) have been organizing informational pickets at 10 ports in nine countries over the past few days to show their solidarity with the BMW workforce.
"This is what international solidarity is all about: Crossing state lines, seas and borders to help workers whose jobs are threatened," said ITF President Paddy Crumlin.
"BMW is planning to outsource good, middle-class jobs," said Bob Lennox, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 495.
"Many of these employees have worked there for decades – some as long as 30 years. BMW told these workers they were a family, and then proceeded to hire union-hostile lawyers to help it exploit Americas plant-closing laws. BMW and its lawyers at Jackson Lewis are condemning 68 American families to poverty and misery" Lennox continued.
In addition to the protests, BMW union workers recently launched a dedicated website under the name "BMW Ultimate Misery" where they have uploaded a series of videos to aid their cause.
On its behalf, BMW said that the decision not to renew the contracts of the 68 workers is not related to the union or wages but about operating its Ontario facility in the same way it does with its other North American plants through third-party workers.

Updated Official images of the BMW 3 series GT show up in the internet


[Updated] Official images of the BMW 3-series GT show up in the internet
-

The pictures do look real and are similar to what we had already seen in spy photos. The Gran Turismo has, like the 5-Series, a higher and larger rear section that will take some time to fully appreciate it, and while we didnt expect any changes in the front it features an updated grille and new bumpers.

The 5-Series GT was considered a flop, it didnt sell what BMW was expecting and pretty much the public did not like the weird rear section. But it seems BMW isnt giving up on this idea. The new car is 200 millimeters longer, 110 millimetre longer wheelbase and stands 81 millimeters taller than the Touring
The engines will be the same available on the rest of the 3-Series range, and the public presentation will happen at the Geneva Motor Show in a few weeks. Below we have the normal GT and the M Sports Package.

Set to be a production reality and on sale in the UK by 2013, this alternatively-powered range-topper, the BMW i8, made its bow at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The sports car has an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h and space for up to four occupants.

The 349 horsepower hybrid has nearly 80 mpg fuel consumption. A lithium-ion battery pack works simultaneously with the three-pot works in tandem and front-mounted electric motor pulled from the i3 and driving the front wheels. Also the i8 has a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, measuring 4632mm in length, 1955mm in width and 1280mm in height, comparable to the 3 Series coupe in dimensions.

The idea of ??every car enthusiast who likes to spend time upgrading my car, wants to wants to give your car unique. Tuning is generally considered a matter of troublesome, but when the result exceeds all expectations, then spent it already does not care. For those who have not yet faced with the installation of sound system in the car, it is necessary to clarify that midbasa at the front podium - is the main part of the entire audio system. In this case we are interested in installing a podium in a car VAZ 2114. The challenge for playing high-quality sound, you need to install the speakers at the correct angle. To this end, the entire area of ??the wooden podium will be deposited makrofleks, and then he pasted frame with glass. Materials for making the podium will need the following materials: plywood, 8 mm thick with an area of ??0.8 sq. m. thick cardboard hardboard fiberglass thickness of 0,25 mm and an area of ??2 square meters, uglelenta epoxy putty EHP polyester with glass emery cloth with a rubber holder cutter plasticine PVA glue spray makrofleksa screws nails rubber gloves Safety work should be performed in thick rubber gloves. Work to determine the size of a podium carved layout of the paper. Then, focusing on the layout of plywood with the cutter sawed the bottom of the podium, the range for the most dynamic and lateral struts on which it will be fixed. In order for the final assembly of the podium was easier to customize the details of the size, preferably all components of the cut immediately in duplicate. Then, using PVA glue and nails, he is going to the podium. The inner diameter of the ring to do with the stock and let it be outside butt. Pocket can be drunk from plywood, and you can use already available. It should be just unscrew from the hull and podpilit that it accurately adjoined to the bottom of the podium. The whole construction fill makrofleksom. Layer should be thin, otherwise it will be a long time to dry. After drying process the outer layer: First, cut away all the excess and then oshkurivaem and the podium is almost ready. Now combine the frame at the base of the whole area. To do this, cut out of hardboard one additional item, the so-called rear panel. If this item is missing, try to increase the thickness by means of thick cardboard. Attach the resulting "flat" to the plywood with glue PVA .. Then, using putty and a putty knife to give details of the status of a whole. Again, wait until dry and again oshkurivaem medium grit sandpaper. Before installing ready-made podiums can be painted or vinyl obtyanut and the work is completed. Despite the result that the finished equipment VAZ 2114 does not imply the existence of a powerful speaker system, with adequate tools and imagination, a Russian man will not give in to the seeming at first glance, a daunting task. The owners of domestic cars will always find a way out and from the car will be heard loud music.
