What did they win for helping run GM into the ground?

1. Largest non-government shareholder...aka OWNERSHIP!

2. Their jobs. In a free market, employees of a failed company LOSE THEIR JOBS.

3. As the new owners of GM, they won control of the $97.4 billion taxpayer dollars pumped into GM.

4. Last, but not least, the UAW leaders are (indefinitely) still in power, while the GM CEO was forced to resign.


If I fuck up, I hope I make out as well as the UAW. Failure is the new black!

the uaw did not run the company in the ground,,,

the lack of foresight and innovation with proprietary features and benefits of their product was their downfall, and that rests with the ceo.

if their line of cars were in demand due to these innovations and out smarting their competition, then the UAW;s pay and benefits would never have become a problem....

Right wing UN-American activity...

"the days of civil town halls are now “over.”" Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), chairman of the NRCC


Right-Wing Harassment Strategy Against Dems Detailed In Memo: ‘Yell,’ ‘Stand Up And Shout Out,’ ‘Rattle Him’

This morning, Politico reported that Democratic members of Congress are increasingly being harassed by “angry, sign-carrying mobs and disruptive behavior” at local town halls. For example, in one incident, right-wing protesters surrounded Rep. Tim Bishop (D-NY) and forced police officers to have to escort him to his car for safety.

This growing phenomenon is often marked by violence and absurdity. Recently, right-wing demonstrators hung Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD) in effigy outside of his office. Missing from the reporting of these stories is the fact that much of these protests are coordinated by public relations firms and lobbyists who have a stake in opposing President Obama’s reforms.

The lobbyist-run groups Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks, which orchestrated the anti-Obama tea parties earlier this year, are now pursuing an aggressive strategy to create an image of mass public opposition to health care and clean energy reform. A leaked memo from Bob MacGuffie, a volunteer with the FreedomWorks website Tea Party Patriots, details how members should be infiltrating town halls and harassing Democratic members of Congress:

– Artificially Inflate Your Numbers: “Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The Rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington.”

– Be Disruptive Early And Often: “You need to rock-the-boat early in the Rep’s presentation, Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep’s statements early.”

– Try To “Rattle Him,” Not Have An Intelligent Debate: “The goal is to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda. If he says something outrageous, stand up and shout out and sit right back down. Look for these opportunities before he even takes questions.”

The memo above also resembles the talking points being distributed by FreedomWorks for pushing an anti-health reform assault all summer. Patients United, a front group maintained by Americans for Prosperity, is currently busing people all over the country for more protests against Democratic members. Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), chairman of the NRCC, has endorsed the strategy, telling the Politico the days of civil town halls are now “over.”

Meanwhile, AHIP, the trade group and lobbying juggernaut representing the health insurance industry is sending staffers to monitor town halls and other right-wing front groups are stepping up their ad campaign to smear reform efforts. The strategy for defeating reform — recently outlined by an influential lobbyist to the Hill newspaper as “delay” then “kill” — is becoming apparent. By delaying a vote until after the August recess, lobbyists are now seizing upon recess town halls as opportunities to ambush lawmakers and fool them into believing there is wide opposition to reform.

Hmmm it sure seems the Rs didnt want anything of substance to be heard at the town hall meetings......I wonder why?

pure ignorance on your part and others who say the ''worker'' ran the company in to the ground.

POOR MANAGEMENT decisions AND the LACK of leadership, the lack of R&D ingenuity and lack of proprietary features in their cars that would out beat their open border competition is what ran the company in the gound..... NOT the worker or the benefits the Management agreed to with the worker, over the years....

AND MANY MANY auto workers have LOST THEIR JOBS in this situation with GM, it is a lie, to imply otherwise.

the workers GAVE UP a great deal of what they were PROMISED by the company and management, and their small share in the company, doesn't come close to making up for what they were LEGALLY OWED through contract with them...
