Rev. Jackson: Help Autoworkers
December 22nd, 2008

Rev. Jackson: Help autoworkers. It’s a good idea to bail out automakers, but any good plan must protect the jobs of autoworkers, says the Rev. Jesse Jackson. “The terms of the loan are unfair to UAW [United Auto Workers], said Jackson of the Bush administration’s $17.4 billion loan to car manufacturers - financed with taxpayers’ dollars. Ultimately, said Jackson, who was in Detroit Sunday, the loan could force members of the union, who already made serious sacrifices on their contracts over the past three years, to be squeezed even more. It’s “unconscionable that they must sacrifice once again,” Jackson said, adding that “automakers, suppliers, dealers, bondholders and unions” must work together to save the industry.

Does that ?%~#?@ actually know what the union is demanding???? Obviously not, or he’s just too blinded by white hate. *?%*@~~ ?%~#?@, hope the Klan gives him a serious visit some day.
I understand Rev. Jacksons point, however, the UAW is not in the business of making automobiles, the factory workers are. The UAW have been successful in doing one thing ultimately, thats kill the big three. The UAW needs to be squeezed, if not forced out all together. Now why would I say that? When a company really cares about their employees and go after quailty production, they do everything within there power to take care of their people who are creating the quailty products! And their is evidence here to support that claim within the big 3 who are paying the insurance of retired workers, and 98 percent of their salaries when production is slow or stops! These guys care about their worker or they would have never agreed to such crazy terms. You don’t need a union to be heard in this enviroment, you need a good human relations representative!
I don’t think that squeezing the Union, who represents the worker is the right way to go to save the big three. Some additional things by the Union can be conceded like for instance the job bank, but targeting the representation of the worker doesn’t seem logical workers need to be protected but retirees’ and people who used to work there should get no more than any other union worker in this country. That seem fair and make a variety of smaller and cheaper hybrid and electric cars they will be fine.
Unions serve a purpose — to protect the working rights and benefits of the employees. For the last 3 or 4 decades many jobs have been “outsourced” to other countries, i.e. call center or help desk jobs within the IT world. If there was an IT union would this have happened — probably and these people would still be out of a job. However, the auto industry was birthed in the United States and while employees have been loyal — companies have not. So unions need to be in place to help protect the workers and their families. The one thing I’ve said about those who have generations of families working in the auto industry and did not pursue education of higher learning in some other field — too bad — you put yourself in a box and now the box is about to close and you have to learn to do something else — so sad.
Jesse is an asshoIe!!!!!
It is sad to see such large corporations in financial distress, I believe that the American people are not responsible for their dilemma, In my lifetime in the course of 20 years a Chevrolet truck with no additional features went from 8,000 dollars to 22,000 dollars and the quality just went away, In today’s market a vehicle cost more than a home, why do they need help?
THE SEVENTH D^CK..DAM! YOU SOUND LIKE YOU NEED A NEW ASS HOLE.
So is this guy still the blacks leader ? Very sad leadership to say the least.
