well I guess it is obvious that I am not an economics major.....lol... I am under the impression that a lot of the car manufacturers are under a lot of financila distress- partly brought on by Union demands- especially when it comes to health care benefits. I don't understand why I am supposed to feel sympathy for this guy in the story that has been employed at the same place for over 30 years. "Back when I hired in at General Motors 30 years ago, it seemed like a good, secure job," said Fairbanks, president since June of UAW Local 1618. Since then, "I've seen good times and I've seen bad times. This qualifies as a bad time, in more ways than one." I would say that 30 yrs at the same place was a VERY SECURE JOB! Why am I supposed to feel sorry for this guy? That is my question.....

You aren't supposed to feel sorry for him, despite the article's spin.
I merely address WHY he and others like him are facing what they are facing.
