Oy. I swear, no wonder Fox News’s ratings are in the damned toilet.
In forcing the resignation of General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner, President Obama said he was seeking a fresh start, a “new vision and new direction,” for the beleaguered automaker.
But some critics are questioning why the president of the United Auto Workers union didn’t meet the same fate, to signal a fresh start on the other side of the bargaining table.
Even though UAW President Ron Gettelfinger argues that his workers have made significant concessions in recent years, critics say Gettelfinger should have gone the way of Wagoner — whose ouster could be seen as the final judgment for GM’s pursuit of gas-guzzling SUVs at a time when foreign manufacturers were winning over their customers with fuel-efficient cars.
“Every bad thing you can think a union can do, the United Auto Workers did,” said Kevin Hassett, the director of Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute.
Hassett said Gettelfinger presided over negotiations that kept the auto giant burdened with costly benefits programs and protected higher-paid, long-term employees from the cutbacks set in place for new workers.
On the behalf of my 63 year old Father, who is a Retired General Motors worker. Kiss my Fat White Detroit Union ASS!
No the damned head of the U.A.W. should have not met the damn same fate as the automaker head. He did not cause the problems at General Motors. The Management did; and I don’t wanna hear all that stupid god damned anti-union horse shit either.
So, Fox News… Please, Go fuck yourselves!
and for those who do not like my use of the f-word, I give you this:
MOST OF THE THE UNION WORKERS I HAVE HAD TO WORK AROUND ARE THE FATEST LAZINESS GROUP THERE IS. THEY FEEL THEY ARE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND, WHEN JUST ASKED TO PERFORM WHAT THEY ARE GETTING WAY OVER PAID TO DO. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN COMMUNISTS FOR MANY YEARS.
Hey Joe, You’re entitled to your opinion. But next time find the damn caps lock key. I’d ban your sorry butt, but I believe in freedom of speech. so, watch it.
