Wake up UAW. The rest of the world is realistic, you should be too. Nothing is guranteeded. Time for the greed to stop starting with your whole industry.

Well... if the UAW is unhappy, then maybe I should go easier on the White House for giving them this Xmas gift in the 1st place? Then again maybe the package didn't include a big enough raise or large enough increase in benefits? In the meantime maybe the extra January shut-downs will help the local economies?... The union autoworkers will still get almost full pay -- maybe more than usual disposable if you figure in reduced costs from not having to get to/from work etc... Hopefully with all the paid free time they'll get out and spend more -- at least more than they normally would during the annual 2 week Xmas shut-downs for re-tooling and such. You did know they shut down every year for 2 weeks didn't you?... You didn't buy the month long disaster press releases wholesale, did you? Now I'm not saying 2 weeks of no production isn't a bad sign, but 2 weeks sounds so much less, well, theatrical.

Gettlefinger claims "Unfair" treament for a minority of American workers by the government??? I'll tell him what is unfair is that the taxpayers of American have had to bail having to bail a single industry. We are screaming"unfair" to use our money - this is called taxation without representation Can Obama and Congress clean up this mess to get the taxpayers off the hook from "porking up" any industry. The stimulus/bailout is really a pork out - it is the government's way of rewarding any industry that votes them into office. Wthe holiday season upon us, I say to Gettlefinger, Congress, the White House -- Happy Porking Season!

I am so tired of the UAW's wining that I will not buy another car made by their union if they do not get in line with the foreign auto makers labor force. There are not many workers in any other industry making the money with the benefits that they are. It makes me sick when I hear their complaints. Let them all go down the drain as far as I'm concerned. If they would have made good cars in the first place there wouldn't be this trouble. My 2005 Malibou trunk release doesn't work, the radio won't play when I use the rear defrost and I've had 2 brake jobs in 76,000 miles and they are proud of their work?? Give me a break.

I'm confused by the following statement: “These conditions were not included in the bipartisan legislation endorsed by the White House, which passed the House of Representatives and which won support from a majority of senators.” If it won support from a majority (i.e. more were for it than were against it) of senators, how did it not pass?

Great UAW I don't like it either...let's just pull the "loan" and let them file chapter 11. The UAW seems to be operating in an alternative universe.

It's simple. They either live with the terms or they lose their jobs. We are all taking cuts in pay to survive, so why shouldn't these workers have to do the same if they want my tax money. If you want your job, make the sacrifice or end up in the unemployment line with the millions of others.
