Unions still do that now, you aren’t reading about it is the difference…Do YOU want to go work for 40K and less per year on those assembly lines? What about working for them for 25+yrs and then not receiving your pension. It’s not as easy as all unions and UAW are the ones that suck. If GM would make a good product and didn’t overpay their CEO’s they wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with! Why do you think that congress told them to f off and devise a new plan, instead of just handing out money?
