Yes, you are right, something has to be done. A Union overhaul AFTER a management overhaul is a good thing! Everybody has to be accounted for. Its like saying every doctor is taking advantage of the system and every school teacher is doing the same. 10/10 RSZ do you think they (UAW Workers) get $80.00 an hour in the envelope for a 40 hour work week? I don't think so I believe its there whole package. Pensions and benefits were set up years and years ago when times were good. Why pay Union dues if there was not going to be a better way of life coming from your membership? They may now have to take a slight reduction in some benefits but its not the workers fault that their pensions were good for the last 25 years and now because of the economy they should not receive their check. The investments their pensions were in is the culprit. If Wall Street, Corporate greed and unfair trade practices were not prevelant we would not be talking about this. There are many Union workers that make $10-$12.00 an hour in this country. Not all make what you think they make because they are in the Union. Sam
