My own preference would be for the OEM’s and unions to agree to pull in the wage-reductions and other union concessions from 2010 as planned to ASAP (like, tomorrow). This would eliminate the unions as a whole point of contention. It’s ridiculous at this point for the unions to try to hold on to 12 more months of high pay given the stakes.
Possibly. But I also expect the Congress to threaten Chrysler’s suppliers. Like Bank of America was threatened in the recent labor sit-in. Fascism is growing apace as the evil progressives accelerate their takeover of industry.
