I don't know what the big deal is about how much or how little UAW employees are paid, how and when their paid. It's a capitalistic free society, where both the big three and UAW agreed upon those terms however unfair they may be from anyones point of view.

I was talking to a Chevy dealer employee the other day. He told me GM owed his dealership $805,000 in paybacks, incentives, etc, and that if GM goes bankrupt, they may only get a fraction of it, if any at all, and they are near the bottom of the "owed" list. I come to realize that the real losers are the dealers and suppliers who are owed monies, and whose businesses are so dependant upon the Big Three. The Big Three and UAW employess did it to each other, and unfortunately have affected other ? more responsible businesses.

Finally, the real irony to the entire situation are the senators and congressmen grilling the CEO's of their mismanagement, leading to this situation, when they themselves caused the entire financial crisis itself with the mismanagement of fannie mae / f mac along with some other key influencing factors. WTF are the politicians (lawyers) doing running this country when they have no idea how to run any type of business. They're good at writing laws, allowing loop holes, etc, allowing people to get away with not being responsible for their actions/screw-ups. When I saw fudge packer Frank on 60 minutes the other night, I got ill and had to turn the channel before I threw up. These people should not be running this country, but they are. Their decisions and laws are what that has gotten us in this mess, like it has in the past as well, costing billions of dollars, from all of us, our families, many retiree's pensions, etc. Honest to god, the more I experience the business world, the more F'd Up i see it. Again, all based on the laws that protect people who screw other people, the lack of accountability.
