The point is not if the contracts are workable. I have no doubt they will be changed, but whether Gettlefinger could change the contracts personally. He can’t. The GOP new this. This is why people in my area are so angry. It was disingenuous and showed they were not really trying to reach and agreement. The White House studied the laws which is why this was placed in the loan agreement as a target.
New to what? Dealing with the Almighty UAW?
No one is asking Gettelfinger to agree to anything anymore. No serious person expects any kind of cooperation from the UAW.
I suspect at some point they will be told how it will be. The choice then will be simple...they are either with the program, or not...and the public is watching.
Most of the public doesn't know or care about the UAW. That's changing...and the impression is not a good one.
