5. Don't interrupt the serial Union Bashing.
Can hear the same thing on any AM radio 24/7!

Let's not look at management. Let's not look into CEO compensation or mis-management.

I mean, why do that when you can blame the hard-working folks on the factory floor.

30-40 years ago, CEO's and top executives averaged salaries at about 10-15 times higher than the highest paid hourly worker. Today, it's not uncommon for those salaries to average 1,000 to 3,000 times higher.

But yeah! It's all the unions fault.

What people don't seem to comprehend is that unions have made the Middle Class stronger. I'd like to see GM sell their cars when these Union folks go take $8 an hour jobs, vice $17-27 an hour.

Talk about pissing in your own Wheaties.
