The UAW is nothing more than an extortionist organization and will fail under it’s own weight. If they hold strong, they will be unemployed. A new contract ordered by the bankruptcy court will save the jobs and make the future a little brighter for the manufacturing base.
You obviously don’t believe the high costs and outlandish work rules placed on these companies by your beloved UAW has anything to do with the economic conditions the Big 3 face.
Feel free to enjoy the dying state of Michigan. Many will follow the opposite of your lead by not buying UAW produced cars and staying away from Michigan businesses.
A new contract ordered by a car czar will avoid a ruinous bankruptcy which will certainly result in liquidation. I tire of saying this but the Union wages are already in line...it’s the legacy costs that matter. As for health care. The union already pays for and administers this plan for the rank and file. As for work rules. This is the most important concession and it’s been done in my plant at least. I know this for sure.
Look, I’m tired of hearing about how evil the union is; they are just working people with families like you unless you are one of the wealthy types. Many of my guys served in the military. They liken the GOP behavior in this matter to a generation of soldiers being called baby killers in the 70’s...they are being kicked in the teeth by other Americans and the GOP after serving their country bravely.
All you union haters think it’s 1955, and you don’t know anything about this matter. This is not a political issue, but rather an American issue. These union people are taxpayers, some are vets and more importantly all are Americans...so those of you who wish ill upon them...I hope it slaps you in the face instead. You deserve it; they don’t. The globalists have made the union the bogeyman to hide the truth...their policies are disastrous to our country and have brought this country to bankruptcy. I say this as a GM manager who works with the union and knows them.
Many of the guys will be laid off in December and are trying to make it to the next year...it’s a sad situation, and for those of you who glory in their misfortune for political reasons, I say you are not a patriot and do not deserve to be called an American.
