The UAW just doesn't seem to understand...

Wow...so, in my last post the UAW was pointing fingers at the US Government for not giving the auto industry a bailout package. Now, they are biting the hand that feeds them. These guys are ridiculous and it is just amazing that they are unwilling to do what it takes to keep these companies in business. Or better yet, allow this industry to become COMPETITIVE again.

They wonder why the American opinion of auto-workers and their representative unions is so low. Well...here is the case and point. You got what you demand like a child wanting a new toy and now that you have it...it isn't the right color/size/shape/model/design/plan you wanted. BOO-HOO and GROW UP.

Some unions have a function, but I believe that we have outgrown their usefulness in some markets. We aren't living in the middle-ages or the industrial-age anymore. We've moved on to the technological-age and beyond. In this world we have technology that could replace hundreds of workers with low cost robotics. This would free up a lot of man power for other industries and lower the cost of production.

Maybe these UAW pin-heads should look at it like this...while it isn't in our best interest to let the auto industry FAIL, you all shouldn't feel an ounce of ENTITLEMENT. You should be EMBARRASSED that you are in this position and groveling for forgiveness that you damned these companies to failure with all of your contract shenanigans. KUDOS to you morons. Get off your crosses...someone else needs the wood to stay warm this winter....
