If the UAW strikes Delphi and thereby drives GM into bankruptcy,

then that will once and for all eradicate the UAW cancer from American Auto companies. Then they can restructure and have an opportunity to screw up on their own without anymore excuses.

My favorite quote about the UAW and Delphi was by the lady senator from Michigan who said in response to Delphi's request to cut wages from a total cost of about $60/hr, "let's stop this race to the bottom." I saw her say that with a straight face on TV.

LOL, so cutting wages from triple the market rate is now a "race to the bottom." If they hadn't used all those strong-arm negotiation tactics and their legalized labor monopoly to goose up wages to triple the market, the UAW wouldn't have driven hundreds of thousands of jobs out of America and their membership would be better off today. I'm not saying the UAW is all bad; their work on improving workplace safety is commendable, but they've priced themselves above the level that other Americans can afford to pay for their work.
