GMAC Gets $5 Billion Cash Infusion as Auto Bailout Expands

Living in Detroit

50 something retired UAW employees make more per annum than presently employed engineers at the Big 3. We are so tired of the “entitlement” attitude that, unless the UAW agrees to end the disparity, it will be a cold day (Florida) before we ever buy another Big 3 vehicle. This entire GM Bailout has exposed the ridiculous benefits these UAW people enjoy. A Jobs Bank that pays 85-100% of pay-what makes them think they deserve so much more than the unemployment benefits the rest of American workers qualify for?

Further, if the incoming administration merely absorbs the inflated pension costs of the UAW and socializes them onto the back of the American Taxpayer in order to relieve GM Chrysler and Ford of the burden instead of demanding modifications the automakers themselves have been too timid to demand for current and retired UAW members, then I truly believe the American Taxpayer will handle it by refusing to buy the cars.

The taxpayers are watching and they aren’t happy. Unlike the with the banking fiasco, the consumer gets the last word on the Auto/UAW bailouts via the wallet this time. Hopefully, the company heads and the UAW leaders realize they must appease not only the Government but also those they expect to continue to purchase their product. Thus far, I haven’t seen evidence of that understanding……..put more plainly…you are negotiating with the people who you are trying to sell automobiles. Act like it or suffer the consequences.

Everyone Should See This-UAW exposed at Ford/The Bosses at Work
