Dear UAW: So it takes the U.S. domestic auto industry getting kicked, punched, shot at, stabbed, hanged, pushed off a cliff, buried under 17 tons of boulders, drowned, defenestrated and fed to hungry zombies for you guys to make concessions? FAIL.
The United Automobile Workers union said Wednesday that it would make major concessions in its contracts with the three Detroit auto companies to help them lobby Congress for $34 billion in federal aid…
At a press conference in Detroit, the U.A.W.’s president, Ron Gettelfinger, said that his members were willing to sacrifice job security provisions and financing for retiree health care in order to keep the two most troubled car companies of the Big Three, General Motors and Chrysler, out of bankruptcy.
“Concessions, I used to cringe at that word,” Mr. Gettelfinger said. “But now, why hide it? That’s what we did.”
Well gee willikers, maybe the U.S. industry can be competitive again. But really, thanks for being the ball and fucking chain for so long, dudes.
This is fucking bullshit.
They’ve been swimming in their own feces for years and suddenly, someone pops their head into their office and says, “Come quick! The Fed is just giving away money!!!!!!”
