Yeah, that's what I said there little twister. Are you really Rush Limbaugh?

It would be ok if all the CEO's now decide they aren't going to take the $1 salary they agreed on. I mean if the UAW can go back on their word the CEO's should be able to do the same right.

Alright.

Still doesn't change that now, in the here and present, the UAW said FU to Ford, GM and Chrysler.

The ship's been torpedoed, and it's taking on water, and these dudes don't wanna help. Pardon me if I don't think very highly of them.

Absolutely. You would think they would at least suck it up considering all the bad publicity they've had recently. I think the UAW will do more damage, and faster damage, to all unions than the anti-union movement could ever dream of doing.

This whole union boss thing is a prime example of where to me the unions fail because they caudle these d-bags. The principles of the union are sound and were created for a better, safer working environment. Not to compensate these a-holes. Look at the one guy, he's gotta be what, 70 plus yrs old? Time to retire and let a junior person who can appreciate a job take his place. Union, concessions, CEO's, people in general can be stupid, lazy and not worth the poo in my toilet. Can't label the unions based on these crackers.
