History shows t wheen ever there is an economic down turn conservatives use it as a took to break up unions so as to abuse workers rights. This is not a problem with the UAW. The UAW workers, including all beniefits, get only $3-4 per hour more than the workers in foreign autos. They average $28.00/hr.
Having said that I agree with the republicans for once. I am against the GM/Cryhsler bail out. This is a management problem. The management continued to make mostly gas Monster guzzlers instead of investing in new technogly like Ford and the foreign auto makers. Also so some consumers continued to buy these large gas HOGS until the high price of galsoline hit.
I say they should reorganize through bankrupcey or let them die a natural death. Instead of blaming the workers and bailing out management, we should give money/health care to the auto workers for retraining education for green jobs.
