I am down for unions, but I haven’t always been down for UAW. Granted, the current President is supposed to be different from UAW management of yore. However, I don’t get why a person who’s two weeks in should get the same pay as someone who’s 7 weeks in. I also don’t like the fact that they are screwing people over who already bought union made cars.

They targeted their most profitable vehicles. Why are repair parts second on the list? Why not target some other part of the process so new development will be impacted? Impact the companies, not consumers.
