If you think the workers are the problem, YOU'RE the problem. You just don't get it.

It's not ALL the workers...it's the union that represents them and the LEADERSHIP that thinks a line worker is worth $70 an hour.....don't get me wrong sounds like tough, very tough stressful tenuous work. I don't dispute that at all....it is just not worth $70 an hour, or $28 an hour plus another $20 an hour in benefits. And the Union should have put back some money to support the retirees instead of bilking ford and the current employees (ultimately the taxpayers) to support the old farts rusting in the nursing home that built the old Fords rusting in the junkyard.
That is what I have a problem with. and I APPLAUD Ford for not taking bailout money. I am pleased with my Ford automobiles (even the UAW built 2009) but it still is not as good a car as my 2011 Fiesta. The build quality is not even comparable. If the unions were reasonable...I could support them.
