Usually I have something witty to say about most any absurd situation but this takes the cake.
Evidently some people buy the socialist crap these useless union bosses heap on their followers, hook, line and stinker.
Unions have out lived their uselessness.

Will any American UAW workers tell the Union to hit the Bricks and leave?? That's the best thing that could happen in this situation, it's up to the voting body of the UAW. Disband and reorganize with new Pro American Leadership, just leave the Union!

Even a foreign car may be made by another foreign company.
I have a '97 Acura SUV but it's just a Trooper with Acura emblems on it.

Foreign vehicles have NEVER been allowed in the UAW parking lot - that much I can understand.
But as for the Bush bumper stickers:
well, it's their parking lot, and if I was running a GOP headquarters, I don't think I'd want Kerry/Whatshisface bumperstickers on cars parked there.
We know darned well the UAW is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Dimbulbs, so why should we be surprised at this?

"Go South and see those foreign automobile assembly plants in full swing mode. Oh yes, forgot to mention that these plants are non union."Hope you weren't thinking of the GM plants in Springhill, Tennessee, or Bowling Green, Kentucky, or Atlanta, Ga, or Dallas, Texas.
Last I looked, all those places are "South," and all surely are unionized.

Have just read a long article in a recent Business Week on General Motors.
Gm as well as Ford and Chrysler have major problems trying to pay for the Health Care benefits of current and retirees.
The UAW which has pushed and gotten these nice fat contracts has finally pushed the auto makers to the braking point as they have the Steel makers, airlines, etc.
It is estimated that it costs $2000 a car for GM to pay for all of these costs. So for the most part it is GM's Finance arm that has been keeping them afloat profit wise.
I am sure Ford and Chrysler are in the same boat.
It was also stated that bankruptcy was not out of line as was the real possibility that GM's bond status could be downgraded to junk.
All in all not a pretty picture and all thanks to the UAW.

Just because a plant is non-union does not necessarily mean that the workers do not get a better package. In the steel industry, the best paid steel workers I found were at Nucor Steel - non-union. Best production bonuses, educational benefits, etc.

It's a wing of a political party.

If not for soldiers, we wouldn't have elections.

"One thing I find annoying (as someone who does a lot of my own maintenance) is that you have to own two sets of tools, as the vehicles have both metric and SAE fasteners on them." And you can thank Richard Milhouse Nixon for that insanity. At a time when the automakers of the world were about to go SAE with all of their fasteners, Nixon moved to destroy American manufacturers advantage.

A Saab 9-2 which is made in Japan, or a Saab 9-7, which is a UAW-Chevy Trailblazer that comes with an Ikea gift certificate?
Today you can buy a Mercedes or Honda from Alabama, a BMW from South Carolina, a Toyota from California, and Ford owns Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover and Aston Martin. What's a foreign car now?

"Would that be a Toyota made by UAW workers in California or a Chrysler made in Mexico?" Oh, c'mon....get real.
A Toyota, made in North Carolina...go DW...tow that boat!

They're certainly lockstep with the rest of the intolerant liberals. The kind that scream about (private) churches accepting homosexuals and the like.
To: dinok
Gee, I wonder why Ford is now behind Nissan in total sales? The majority of "foreign cars" sold in the U.S. are made by Americans.
