Ask people here how many other professions are represented by the UAW other than autoworkers. They also represent a lot of nurses, agricultural workers, machine shops, aerospace companies, and other industries. But your words will fall on deaf ears, because unions=evil; cheap, easily exploited labor=good. America is going the route of Britian, where people who work in manufacturing are ranked as second-class citizens, who are beneath the contempt of the financial elite. The banking bailout is the proof in the pudding. Hand out cash with no strings attached to all of your banking buddies, and let manufacturing twist in the wind. Let ALL of them fail, none of them deserve bailouts. Let them pay for the choices they made. But as we see here, the monied elite protect their own.
What is your problem? Read all my posts, I OPPOSED THE FINACIAL BAILOUT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. It’s on this thread. You cannot address even the topic being discussed which is whether or not the Feds should use our money to give it to the big 3/UAW to stall their inevitable bankruptcy.
I didn’t use the word EVIL anywhere in my discussion. Sloth yes, greed yes, evil never said it.
Look if the UAW had any brains, they’d be donating money near equally to Republicans and Democrats. That way, when the congress got to the point that the auto industry should be nationalized, i.e. today, you’d have plenty of votes to get your largess at the expense of the rest of us.
Look, I just want employees who give a damn, who are willing to work, who don’t deliberately work slow, who don’t go around threating their co-workers who do do work and who don’t go around sabatoging the product. In other words, I WANT NON-UAW EMPLOYEES. I’ve witnessed all this crap with my UAW employees at my production facility. I’ve owned American cars. Hence, I know better than to buy the junk you produce.
I’m even told that you guys make a quality product now. Too late, I’m staying Japanese on my next car purchase. If you ever want us back again, I suggest you drop your demands for tax dollars and work with management to fix your failing businesses.
