The Republicans made it plain that their first objective in this bailout was major concessions from the unions. They have been attacking unions since Reagan, and this is a perfect storm for them to fire a direct shot against them. The Southern Senators want union wages to equal what the transplant companies are paying. Thing is, once that happens and once union wages stop being a benchmark for how other workers are paid, average wages will start to go down.
