What’s to prevent Chrysler from closing shop and moving that plant to Mexico?
Rockin–he he that was classic.

It’s a matter of taking a stand, even if it’s a final stand. The GM/UAW compromise basically guaranteed that the next wave of workers to replace the current GM workforce will get paid half — literally half — what union auto workers are currently paid. No one, except public radio, has even mentioned this minor detail of the compromise.
Every day, the US comes closer to third world/ service economy status. The people mopping up the gravy are owners, who happen not to feel like sharing their vast profits with Americans. They feel this way because Americans want a living wage.
The union position may have its problems. But there’s nothing particularly laudable in the owner/outsourcer position, either, imo. The company is bargaining from the position that those threatened with job loss will work for crumbs. They deserve a strong rebuff, with teeth.
We’ll see how it plays.
