UAW digging its own grave?

Unions will be extinct in 20 years. There is no room for them in todays ultra competitive economy. If you can't keep or find a job you're screwed. No one can save or help you. The gov programs being diluted. Guaranteed employment is a thing of the past. Middle class is a thing of the past. There are only two classes: the creators and serfs.
 
You guys are missing what's happening out there.
I don't know or care if unions are or aren't dying/coming back/whatever. But what you do have to realize is that Dubya's killed the Reps for the next generation, the same way LBJ killed the Dems forty years ago.
I'm not counting on the SS cap surviving 2009, just to take one consequence.
Plan for a US that, to reverse Martha Mitchell's 1970 quote, is going so far to the left that in 30 years you won't even recognize it.
I'll most likely be either gone or so senile I might as well be by then. Those of you who are younger need to realize what's going on, though.

i think unions are going to make a comeback with stagflation. Workers can't keep losing their buying power. And I don't like unions.
W R O N G..this is all a part of inevitable globalism done through incrementalism. Globalist's have the power..Globalist's are going to make the rules wether we like it or not.
 
Auto workers make too much money. A lot of the GM employees were making $60 an hour with benefits calculated in. A lot of them are doing simple factory work...

That can't work in the long run... they can either take a pay cut or lose their jobs.

6-figure income with high school diploma. Go figure.

That should be 6-figure income with no high school diploma.

These union workers are a bunch of morons. I should know I used to work as an engineer at Caterpillar, which consists of thousands of these crybabies.
