Haven't you been paying attention? What Obama says means nothing, he
is still in campaign mode. The whole idea of this commisson is to take
away the free choice of half of the country who did not vote for
Baralolypse...


Yeah, damn it. He's been in office two full weeks, he should have all
of that most credible ex president Bush's screw ups fixed.

I will not mention the names, but know of at least 2 US firms that saw this
coming and is going to close the union plants outright. All are on 60 day
notice. One is larger, about 2000-3000. Once they are closed, remaining
operations are union free and the word is you will close if managemnet gets
wind of a unionization attempt. They don't need the manufacturing capacity,
and have offshore non-union capacity, the union has zero barganing power.
Kind of slit their own throats with past demands. One plant was
steelworkers or something, and the employees feel betrayed by the union as
they are just folding. LOL.

Also looks like CAW/UAW don't get 95% pay for bench slacker time come
Monday. That certainly needed to go.

Now would not be a good time to strike. Does not mater what Obama signs.
