Here is an idea for our Republican friends in Congress:
Instead of using the United Auto Workers as a scapegoat for the current financial woes of the automobile industry, why not enact Universal Health Care and take away the corporate burden of paying for employee health care, a burden that the foreign competitors of GM, Ford, and Chrysler do not have to carry.
In a last-ditch effort to revive a government rescue for the American auto industry, Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee, was trying late Thursday to persuade Senate Democrats to back an alternate plan that would require steep concessions by the United Auto Workers union and by creditors to General Motors and Chrysler.
Instead we get attempts to break the UAW. Same game, different day.
Yeah I know that won't happen. But I feel better now!
