I'm only a little angry at the CEP up there and the CWA down here.
They've been stealing our fiber splicers left & right, but then, they
generally offer a better deal, so .....
y'all watch C-span today if you can - see first hand what the Big 3's
arguments are.

But here are the two lies you'll hear from them:
"Our concern lies primarily in the massive job-losses our valued workers will face."
"After we receive this bail-out, we'll put an emphasis on renewable fuels and other domestic, clean resources."

I want the companies to fail. I want the unions to collapse. I want to see the whole shitty industry shaken to it's core.
Then, when everything is reduced to rubble, someone can come in with a new idea, a new model and a new business that actually works. A nice big reset button.

Nobody is forced to work for the auto industry. They can move, get another job, get a second job, etc...

I think that unions still have a place. But the fact is that what the UAW has done, IMHO, is harshly and stupidly anti-competative, especially in a world where many of the worker's rights and affairs issues that they care about have been handled and are already part of the law. And I say that they are still necessary because there are still some injustices, and to prevent backsliding. But as for the auto industry, other plants that are non-union pay good money and the workers seem to be happy without all that expensive protection.

I take it they're from Atlanta? I was talking about what happens to you if you try go all union on Coke in the developing nations factories/plants. I'd rather not go into it, anyone curious should be able to find out with a quick bit of googling.
