I have mixed feelings, my dad, is a UAW worker, so i don;t want any bad to come to him, however. i went to 4 years of college, i have been busting my butt 10-12 hours a day, and this is a common thing in my field as it is in many fields today. It is required to keep our jobs...my dad works long hours yes, then has shut downs for time off. When all is said and done, my dad with a GED is making about 150% more than i am and has better benifits working far less hours in a years time, all with security of not being laid off. yet he complains that they want to lesson his insurance to a level still far better than mine. He is eligible for retirement and claims he can not afford to yet he drives a lexus, eats every meal out, and lives in a 5 bedroom house stuffed with all the newest electronics. My opinion is this the auto industry was a big profitable industry for everyone envolved... 20-30 years ago, it has become more competetive, and therefor harder to be successfull. The UAW was not created to insure you live better than others do it was created to insure you are not takin advantage of. and driving a lexus and having insurance paid for you is not being takin advatage of. yes UAW workers work hard very hard. but they are paid very well too. to me a strike is the result of a percieved need. a need that is driven by greed.
Sorry dad it's true....

Union too strong. To decertify a union like that would take an eternity
