    wage cuts

    Over the demand by anti-union Southern Republican senators that domestic automaker workers be forced to accept immediate wage cuts, and the loss of benefits.

    Frank's comparison is noteworthy, but I'm also curious about a more immediate comparison. Did those Republican Senators demand wage and benefits cuts from all of the employees of those companies, or just the union employees? Were these to be across-the-board cuts, or could they just not bear to think of disappointing the innocent little children of managers and executives during the holiday season?
