"spurious claims" that UAW make more than Foreign Auto employees in US: Please supply your information sources of this. Where is this claim coming from?
1) If they were not paid more, then foreign automotive makers would not locate in right-to-work states to take advantage of "lower" labor costs. Either auto manufacturers know something you don't, or you're full of shit. Likely the latter.
2) A long-time member of the teamsters union who recently accepted a 15% paycut and some company stock in order to help keep his company in business, a contract negotiated by the tough Teamsters lawyer Hoffa, doesn't support this fucking bailout. His comment: to get money from the United States, those fucking companies should have to do the following: 1) insist on paycuts and sacrifice from everyone from executives, to middle management, to line workers and 2) bring home the work they sent overseas TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LOWER LABOR COSTS.
Damn, in your strong desire to create bad guys, can you please still keep a BRAIN? Thanks!
