Wait a friggin minute. No Consession???? Do a google search on UAW consessions and get a clue. What are the unreasonable demands the UAW is making today. Dont bring up some plant that closed 25 years ago. The UAW has given up wages, benefits, days off, etc all in the name of saving the Big 3. Hell, if GM even gets right and hires people again they will make 14 bucks an hour. Thats not giving back??? Thats an unreasonable demand??? The UAW opened the contract, again, a few months ago. Ford workers ended the Jobs Bank, gave back paid holidays, and gave up tutition assistance. We also gave up future raises to help cover retiree health care, gave up cost of living, and no longer have the job classifications we used to have. No more cleaners, sweepers, material handlers. Only assembly work. We all work in teams like the Japanese do. And those working now will be the last to make a good wage. All new hires will make half what we do now.

So please tell me again how the UAW has done nothing.

And please tell me why the Japanese, who do not have unions, sell cars at or above the prices of union made cars with the same or below level quality.
