It's not responsible to insist upon contracts that are economically unsustainable.
"Can not work?" I think you're implying that if the UAW doesn't agree, it ain't gonna happen. It's pretty clear what place they see for themselves in this.
The UAW is not the arbiter of the possible and impossible.
I think there's an excellent chance that the UAW, through their hard ball tactics, has put Chrysler out of business. The Treasury plan hasn't been announced yet, but I believe it will acknowledge that Chrysler is not a viable business and has no future plan...that would have been avoided for awhile, at least, had the UAW allowed the Senate plan. Kiss another 40,000+/- UAW members goodbye. Now, THAT'S karma...and poetic justice.
No agreement would be acceptable. These people showed their true lack of fitness for any responsible office...when a big three failure could sent millions out of work and perhaps cause a depression, the time to play politics is over.
They insisted upon a viable business model before they would provide any money...that's responsible. As much as you try to avoid the facts, the UAW torpedoed this agreement as unacceptable.
The UAW has enforced their will upon the Detroit 3, and that's why they're in the state they're in. They were unable to enforce their will upon the Senate.
These Senators are a disgrace to the South. God don’t like ugly...they will get theirs in the end...
"You didn't vote for the UAW...God's gonna gitchew!"
This is the cherry on top of what is an unappetizing dessert of anti-intellectual cr@p. Try again.
Contract law is contract law...its the same for the UAW as anyone else. One would expect the GOP caucus-many who are lawyers to know this.
