No kidding. But, this guy/gal wants us to be sympathetic to them. I don't think so!
He/she is proving exactly what we thought of the UAW in the first place. They are a bunch of whiny, selfish thugs and who obviously think they are something special.
I don't understand why 'their jobs' are any more 'special' than anyone else. They make freaking cars. It's not like you can't go out and buy a car from someone else if they go away. I guess we can call them the 'affirmative action' of the car industry.
You would be buying a car from a foreign manufacturer if they go away at a much higher price... and sending any profit to a foreign country. Losing the entire auto sector is a big deal for this country now and in the future. You choose not to understand this because of irrational hatred for unions.
