Bravo to the Senate Republicans. Complete and utter kool-aide intoxicated BS to cry for the UAW...
Have any of you apologists for the auto workers actually read their contract? I have...read every damn one of them for the past several decades when they are negotiated since they may set the tone for contracts throughout the country.
But they don't...know why? Because the UAW member is NOT the typical American worker. He or she is overpaid for few skills in performing work now involving robots...they are paid for what they used to do. They b!tch and moan every damn time management tries to make something more efficient, and they cry when workers from other mfgs consistently outperform them. They use political pressure to get their contract terms, rather than deserving them. Their leaders are overpaid, and they haven't won a significant organizing drive in the auto industry in 30 years.
The typical American worker works for small to medium size companies. They use their skills to achieve their gains in their career, rather than by simply hanging around long enough to get seniority. They wonder why their taxes should be used to help out the azzholes who supposedly have a union to protect them.
The "cuts" you brag about? Read the damn language!!! They installed a two-tiered system a couple of years ago wherein only new employees coming in are paid less in wages and benefits...the seniority folks actually got signing bonuses to sell out the newbies. Since they can't be laid off without receiving 80-90% of their pay, the seniority folks lose nothing whether they work or not, and the newbies haven't even come on line.
Do you people ever read?
Damn right they ought to commit to doing something NOW to keep
THEIR jobs with our tax dollars being tied up to finance them. Why don't we use their pension plans as security?
Damn tired of opinions from biased liberals who have never read what they opine about. Completely and utterly incredible without any mitigating circumstances due from worthless emotional appeals. (Iraq?...geez Wes, you sound like an Illinois politician claiming moral right while grabbing the phone to sell America down the road.
)
We may start moderating based on a BS scale.
No worries...we're supposed to be politically correct enough to allow even those on the lower steps of evolutionary brain development speak their minds, with all favorable presumptions implied.
Rant in holding pattern.
