Im unsure of why the union is stonewalling any wage changes at this moment, but I think its something they are going to lose in the long run anyway. But I also don't know the whole story on that situation either...it was only just mentioned in the news.
Union workers have been making concessions for years now, its not like they are resistant to sacrificing. You do have to understand, though, they are coming from a really high stand point when the auto industry was raking in billion and billions, and they were just sharing in that wealth.
I understand the bitterness that the average Joe has toward the auto industry, but I have my own too. There is a side of me that wants the industry to massively fail as a result of the people who are intent on not saving it, just to see the misery that WILL come to them as a result of what happens to this country when it does. Thats my shortcoming and its a result of dealing with short-sighted people. I'm sorry if that sound like a dig at you, its not really, I value your insight Shawnee.
