What's it take?

The UAW just doesn't get it. GM is currently moving in to help bail out its doomed Delphi parts spin-off, as UAW workers threaten a potentially crippling strike that could send both Delphi, GM and, by extension, the UAW down the crapper.

I say it couldn't happen fast enough. The automotive industry in this country is riddled with bloat, bloated wages, bloated benefits, bloated pension plans, and bloated vacation policies. It's going to take something like a GM bankruptcy before people will finally realize this. The longer we wait, the harder it's going to be to change, and the longer GM will continue to hemmorhage funds like a watermelon in a Gallagher set.

Unions aren't loyal to a company...they're loyal to the union. At one point in history unions had a purpose, but now they have out lived their purpose.
