I think that this is a ploy on the part ...I agree!! I think that this is a ploy on the part of the Southern Senators to break the UAW. One of the things that has not been well known is that the foreign auto companies don't have the high "legacy" costs because the foreign countries provide health care to retirees as well as pensions. Those are costs that are carried directly by the Big Three and that adds to their costs. <BR/><BR/>The UAW has not always done the right thing ( but neither have the Big Three) and it is unfair to punish them and make them the fall guys for this whole mess.<BR/><BR/>If the Big Three are forced in to bankruptcy, things may turn out for them in the end, but, do we want to force them in to bankruptcy when the economy is so fragile. It is high stakes poker at this point.<BR/>(and I am one who has been critical of Detroit for many years... I have owned mostly foreign cars over the years... because I was always looking for better mileage and quality... my newest purchase is a Mini Cooper... speaking of good mileage and quality).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
