UAW On Strike… and This Just Made Me Laugh.
I was reading a news report this morning on Yahoo about the Monday morning strike by the UAW… and this one interview made me stop, scratch my head and just laugh.
The report focused on an Anita Ahrens who installs SUV speakers for GM and whose husband works at the same plant with her. She burst into tears on her way into work because she saw the wave of workers heading out of the building to strike and had this to say…
“This is horrible, but we’re die-hard union, so we have to. We got a mortgage, two car payments and tons of freaking bills.”
Are you SERIOUS? Tell me, you have “tons of freaking bills”, a mortgage payment, two car payments, three kids with one in college and you’re DIE-HARD union supporters? You have nothing to complain about, that’s 100% your fault.
If you cannot afford a strike, or cannot afford to work at a job with a teetering union contract then why the hell are you working there? If a union boss can toss you into financial ruin because he’s not satisfied over his underlings job security, then there is a HUGE red flag flapping in your face.
Not like you would care, you’re die-hard union workers.

According to UAW President Ron Gettelfinger the biggest unresolved issue they’re fighting over is “job security”.
Is this REALLY what Unions are for? To make sure you can’t be fired…
Give me a BREAK. If I run a business and you’re working for me and I feel your performance on the job sucks, guess who will be finding a new job?
This strike makes no sense at all. The Big Three car companies have been struggling for some time now, and all this will do is make it more likely one of them will go out of business completely. I guess no job is better than…a job without whatever they are striking for.
