On F&F this morning one of the Fox Business Gals was ask who is to blame and she responded without hesitation “the UAW”.

The TRUTH???? Someone from acedemia spoke the TRUTH???? OMG!

I am willing to donate one, plug nickel to the UAW “Widow’s and Orphan’s” Fund if John Sweeney makes an appearance on any news program with an apple stuck in his pie hole.

He can expect a friendly ‘visit’ from some UAW operatives in the near future.

Memo to UAW:

You can't get blood from a turnip, and you can't get $75 per hour from a bankrupted company.

Sincerely.

I am glad to see this, but it all must be taken a step further to get people to realize that the laws governing the relationship between union and management are the ultimate culprits. A company that has its union go out on strike must have the ability to hire those who ARE willing to work for what they want to pay.

Only when we are ALL threatened do we finger the real perpetrator. And only when a company is brought completely to its knees does the union make concessions. I'm betting the union will cave, because their choice is to hand their pay over to a bankruptcy court judge, and as we can see, the prevailing sentiment is not with the unions any more.

The University of Maryland professor of business and economics, appearing on the Early Show this morning, put the blame for the failure of Big Three bailout squarely on the shoulders of the UAW for its refusal to accept pay cuts putting its members on par with non-union workers at US plants owned by foreign car manufacturers

I dont doubt he is right but surely stupid government regulation has some role too.

If the UAW does not want to be a partner in finding a solution bankruptcy is quite possibly the best alternative. Other companies would be born to fill the vacuum if Chrysler, Ford and GM disappeared.

We are a mobile society. As such, the collapse of the Big Three would not change the nation from being a mobile society. Other sound business interests would see an opportunity to build vehicles for the consumer and seize the moment.

Yes, many millions of jobs could be lost as a result of the Big Three collapsing. But, the new companies that would rise up to replace the Big Three would employ those same millions.
