I don't know where you get your statistics but a recent study showed that fewer than 10% of American workers belong to a union and a lower percentage that that would want to join a union.
It obvious from your comments that you have no understanding about capitalism and risk-reward principles of wages and salaries.
Now you spout off that "all men were created equal" and then move right on to Marxist (communism)philosophy.
Dream on. The next time you want to turn on the lights at home..... call a union guy. You'll have to wait until after his break though.
It's not the hourly pat that the UAW has to get real with. It's paying more for medical coverage, reducing job classifications so you don't have to be an electrician to flip on the lights and the infamous job bank.
Who is the UAW trying to kid? The vast majority of people in the US hate unions and would NEVER belong to one. UAW members have to come to the realization that wages and rules have to allow the company to remain viable. If not, everyone loses including all of us taxpayers.
Do the right thing. Step up, be an American first, union worker second.
Do these union people read the paper or listen to the news? Do they have ANY clue about what's happening in the world right now? No wonder the wrong person got elected president.
GM, UAW to discuss impact of cutbacks
