Thanks for the ping; post. Perhaps the UAW members could get part-time jobs to fill up the coffer$ of the yoonyan.
“Why should it be a problem for automakers?”
Why? Because a part of the Automaker bailout was for the UAW to take over the pension/benefits for all the retired autoworkers.
When they lose membership and gain no new members, the math fails to add up. What happens when the fund is bankrupt...again? All those 2nd tier younger workers dump the union and go on strike!
Michigan is now RTW. The next contract those new workers making 1/2 the pay and benefits will tell the UAW to shove it up their @ss and stop paying dues.
The UAW will be dead within 10 years!
Grieving AP Virtually Dares GOP to Create More Jobs in Tenn. After UAW Loss at VW-Chattanooga
A Monday evening report by Tom Krisher and Erik Schelzig comes off more as a “put up or shut up” dare to those who opposed UAW representation than anything resembling objective reporting. The pair wants to know what Republicans are going to do achieve job growth in the wake of the UAW loss. The obvious response is that despite well-known federally-imposed regulatory barriers to job growth, Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Haslam and the Volunteer State’s GOP-controlled legislature have been doing a far better than average job, if you will, of creating a conducive atmosphere for payroll employment growth in the state. But first, let’s visit our in-mourning AP reporters and headline writer (bolds are mine):
Dear AP,
Please tell me how many jobs the UAW has created.
... crickets...
And just Friday Obama was wishing happy birthday for his porkulus bailouts.
I guess running a business is harder than shaking them down. Aye, UAW?
Huh? There's only two more hostile unions that I can think of besides UAW. The MEA and the SEIU.
