Did I just hear that the UAW gave into it's corporate masters?

Making retirees pay for their own health care and stuff like that?

WTF????

1. what are they going to do?

they've run out of political allies in washington -- not that they should have -- but everyone is so anxious to undermine the american worker -- what choices do unions have?

2. They are screwed either way. If they don't take the deal, they could

lose everything. By taking the shitty deal, at least they get a few measly scraps.

The American workers these days are fucked -- no one is looking out for them anymore. Corporate CEOs can earn millions and millions of dollars in salary and bonuses; a union worker asks for healthcare and you would think he was asking the company to shit him a golden egg.

The rich get richer and the rest of us can eat what is left over. As if I needed another reason to hate these fuckers.
