It strikes me kinda funny that the well off keep blameing the uaw? If the labor cost is only 1o-15% of the car cost then the major part of the problem lies some where else. The only thing thats gonna happen if they pay the same as the scabs is the ceo's are gonna get bigger salaries and bonus's !!! You all know this. Cut the uaw's package buy 10% and that would be more than fair. Why should we lower are standards? Instead we should RAISE import tax's Unions,unions ,unions thats all you guys whine about. Go to a lexus dealer (non-union) then go to a caddy dealer (union)is there a diff. in labor cost? at most $5 hr. Explain that ! It all comes down to the rich get richer and the little guy gets poorer. If you want $15 an hour than buy a trailer and move down south. Nothing wrong w/ that, if thats what you want. No matter what you say if the unions were gone the wages and the standards of living would for sure decline. To all you working scabs out there,(not owners)if the trade unions werre gone your wages and job conditions would def. decline. Its only from the unions that your bennys are even close to what they are.Remember that! I have worked both sides of the fence and my family is much better off now being a IBEW member!!!!!Yes I do know that the union is just a buiss. But the fact is united we stand and divided we fall......The other fact is These hard times are just used by the smaller buiss. owners and well to do to just bust the unions to fill there pockets up w/ more $$$$. I do agree that some reform does need to be done. There is so many more ways to cut costs than just from the bottom....Just my $38 hr. worth
You guys should give the new regime a chance, you should ***** when times get worse. I dont here anyone complaining about bush( what a great man)
, I would have rather seen hundreds of billions go to americans than to helping towel heads!!!How much money do we send overseas a yr.????We should take care of america before worrying about anyone else.
