I'm not so sure. From my reading, the UAW was willing to accept pay
parity with the foreign manufacturers. The problem was defining parity,
and the timing of when to accept it. To me, it looks like union
busting. If you take retirement benefits out, they are close to parity
now.

They wanted parity after the expiration of their current contract
which runs out in 2011.

I heard the whole UAW press conference this morning - prevarication
ruled the day for them. According to the UAW, it's all the
Republicans fault - it took a reporter to point out to him that the
bailout would have passed if three more Democrats had voted for it.

Another fallacy is this whole bit about labor being 10% of the total
cost per car.

That is total bull****.

WEll, that's a careful, fact-filled analysis.
Wait, I'm sure you'll find some crap on a right-wing site to help you out.
