I understand being competitve. With America entering the global market, the american worker got the short end of the stick. Our way of life in this country, which has been well established for many years, was well above those of poorer nations. By entering the global market we are essentially lowering the lifestyle of the American worker, which is parlty why our economy is slowly dwindling.

I agree that the workers should have a competitve pay grade for what the market calls for. However when you have excutives flying to DC in a corporate jet asking for handouts, I would say that it is time to cut the executives. That alone will put millions back into the company. Unions are not always right, but they are there and where create to protect the workers from tactics such as this. I was surprised about this outcome, but it is only right to question it. By the big three collapsing, more than the workers are going to suffer, so I think this move was to try to weaken the UAW and to blame them for the congressional loans not being recieved b the big 3.

The workers pay is only but a small part of the problem with the big three. Their lack of focus and direction towards thier markets is where their problem is.
