Things might get to the point where it would be cheaper for car manufacturers to simply pay off the union members and start from scratch with non-union labor.

To: Kieri
Union leadership from the local to the international level is populated by thugs and crooks. The left wing democrats are the enablers of these crooks. At some point the union movement has to be cleaned up or it will die (which hopefully has been happening). Now the crooked government unions have gained standing by buying democrats.
I have no love for the Kennedy family but must say that Bobbie Kennedy did take on Jimmy Hoffa and the teamsters but look what happened to him. It was poetic justice that Jimmy suffered the same fate when he crossed his masters.
