United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger said he will not seek re-election and plans to retire when his term ends June 30, 2010.

I wonder how much he gets in his executive compensation package? While indirect, he is still getting paid by members that are getting paid with taxpayer money.

OK but ... as he’s Indirectly getting BAILOUT MONEY ... Tax him at 80% instead!

Actually he does not get a really big check. I spend an hour and a half each way every day and listen to WJR. Ya, he is the head of the union but only makes 125K if I remember right. Ron is not the problem
