It is so sad to see the amount of effort that goes into bashing the Harley employees...Paid too high,greedy,lazy.As an employee,I would just like to say that in the 10 yrs I've been there,NUMEROUS people have QUIT because they couldn't handle the work.Now I'm assuming all the nay sayers have no involvement in Harley,nor their families,or they HOPEFULLY wouldn't be so quick to judge things they KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT.Walk just a day in our shoes,and you may just change your tune...or maybe not.

that what the auto worker said.....in michigan its time for change!!!

I'm out , but it's not the 30 plusers that are the real problem it's the union and the state ! they both cause business nothing but headaches !
the union at Harley always caters to the bottom of the barrel , because those are the ones that can't make it on their own and the state loves to take from those who can and will !

I sure hate the Harley test facility is leaving Talladega Alabama it has been a good palce to work for a lot of people for a long time. Y`all should reconsider its a good testing area and a lot of good employees here..Talladega doesn`t need to loose any more jobs..

I would agree on that too.The union Does'nt always look out for the workers as a whole.But from the people I talked to that work there(at least 6 of them with 7-12 yrs there),the 30+yr people were given generous package offers and they wouldnt take it,cause they either have too much debt or they would'nt have anything to do with themselves.And they sure as hell would'nt make the money they make for the little work they do,ANYWHERE.Everybody knows thats a fact.

Exporting jobs to cheeper labor areas is due to corporate greed, not union acitvity. GM had record profits throught most of the 2000's and one year where profits DOUBLED. If you SHEEP don't wake up to the Wallstreet Goldman Sachs scam soon, you will be sheared as well. Harley's Wallstreet greed is no exception.

Harleys way overpriced junk is what got them in trouble, along with the union bums.

don't forget the 30plusers are the ones who went through the rough times in the late 70's and early 80's , with the layoffs and the fact the co. almost closed the doors back then . the ones that are crying now have had up to possibly 20+ years of smooth sailing , without any hard times until now .

Why should someone get paid 25 - 30 bucks an hour to attach a wheel or put on a rocker cover. The unions are driving them out of york.

okay, why shouldn't they make that much? everyone seems to think that wage is too high, i would like to know why you feel that way?! AND, nobody on line makes that much unless you're talking about overtime hours:)

I keep reading people pointing the finger at the union and people pointing a finger at the workers...but nobody points a finger at Harley and their financial decisions over the years.

Maybe if Harley didn't charge as much as they do for their bikes, they wouldn't have to pay as much as they do for their labor.
