Who said anything about starving. Stop being a drama queen. The fact that police make base salary of ~30k vs assembly workers making 60-70k is ridiculous.
The unions ruined that industry. They should try to get as much for their unskilled labor force that they could but GM should have done a better job of keep their wages down. No wonder they lose money their lowest employees make 60k a year for unskilled labor.
PS THANK GOD FOR THE BAILOUT…really kept GM outta bankruptcy.
