Oh yes, them Union cats that took the corporate jet to Washington to beg. I forgot, see. Yep, and them UAW fat cats forced the automakers into the product choices they've settled on.. trucks and SUVs for everyone. And you believe them fat union cats are just sitting back with glee while the automakers crumble, right? The same unions that will have how many members out of work if all three companies go under? They're the reason why the automakers need money? Wow, I never thought paying employees for their work would make a company go under!
I need to know why you see fit to heap the blame on the unions without mentioning the managers or the executives. Obviously these managers and executives don't get pay raises, benefits, bonuses, or corporate jets to hop around on, do they? They're not costs that ANY company would have to account for. Nope. Its dem unions, and da dems dey support, dur hur hur.
The UAW isn't run by angels, and that isn't what I am saying in this post. What I am saying is that foisting the "chief" amount of blame on the UAW for the mess the automakers are in now is myopic, self-serving, disingenuous, and childish... at best.
