The European autoworkers make considerably more money, but the US auto companies didn't want to pay those rates so they promised future benefits and pocketed the difference.
Now the promises are due, they've pissed away the money and would like to shift the promises on to the government(YOU). Can you say Airlines.
So the bastards that pocketed the loot, walk away scot free, with huge golden parachutes.
