  • The union fucked the company over good enough with legacy entitlements, fully paid leaves, $50 an hour with mandatory overtime to eventually put them out of business. Who is surprised by this? You can't build an affordable and globally competitive car paying top US union wages and perks. Those days are over...

  • I am a foreign engineer move to USA. When I was working in a crane manufacturing plant, I know that these product can never compete with foreign product. Do you have any idea, how hard people have to work to make money. Making $30.00/hr for putting together some parts. Big boss is making millions for moving their asses. Looks like a ship is sinking. I paid so much taxes and my retirement is on risk now.

  • The UAW is the industrial police force of the corporations. Workers have to form independent rank and file strike committees outside of the Unions and link up with other sections of the workforce who are being driven into poverty by the US government and the corporations to pay off the gambling debts on Wall St
