Sen. Corker did not add the date thing which killed the compromise. This was added by the Southern GOP Sen. who are beholden to the foreign transplants. The big three union is already taking big pay cuts, the big issue is legacy costs. The workers are at the same level already unless you add the legacy costs and divide by the number of active workers only. You know the government will assume pension responsibilities for these costs. In 2011, the union takes over this responsibility and have already agreed to take equity rather than cash. This is a best case scenario for taxpayers. Ah but why you ask can’t they do this now...the answer is there are laws which govern pension responsibilities; it must be done through the judicial system. The UAW is in court now working on this. This is a very complicated issue, but the bottom line is this’ do we want to manufacture goods in this country?’ I say yes.

Source on the pay cuts?

I've been reading your nonsense long enough. How do you know this?
