UAW Must Slash Wages & Benefits For Automotive Industry

GM, Ford, and Chrysler are important to a strong America, as are all other manufacturing. Over the last approximately forty years, organized labor, i.e. the AFL-CIO, the United Auto Workers, and other Unions have demanded unwarranted hourly pay and benefits. Many in manufacturing businesses throughout America have become less competitive, forced into bankruptcy, and/or required to relocate to other countries, to compete in a global market. Average compensation of $141,000 plus, is excessive in a competitive market.

Democrat leaders on Capitol Hill dispatched the Big 3 automakers’ CEOs. Members examined the CEOs on their corporate losses. These CEOs were grilled on their requests and/or demands for a bailout. Where was UAW President Ron Gettelfinger? Where was AFL-CIO President John Sweeney? Why were other Union leaders not subpoenaed? Why are these Union leaders not being probed? Are Unions partly responsible for our declining manufacturing? Should our legislators on Capitol Hill be demanding organized labor to slash wages and benefits; to protect our US economy? Will Capitol Hill legislators demand Union leaders to reduce employees’ pay and benefits? Are Democrats on Capitol Hill protecting Unions because so many Union dues are campaign dollars, who specifically, support the majority Democrat Party and their candidates?
Legislators are now heading in an abusive direction, adding support to Unions, which will further damage our economy. Very soon, you will see the Democrat majority pass legislation which will allow labor leaders to ‘bully’ other businesses’ fellow employees into signing a Union card which will force business owners to accept labor Unions ‘without’ secret ballot elections. America’s manufacturing will die further, or Presidential Executive Orders, and/or other legislation, will force tariffs upon imports that will increase our goods at the markets; increasing further inflation. UAW leaders must decrease employees’ pay and benefits to protect Americas’ automobile manufacturing.
