      American Axle Strike: Unions Continue to Kill U.S. Manufacturing
      Edge- Get a clue buddy. Have you ever seen someone get fired who was a good worker, but just "had to be let go"? Unions protect people who don't have a say elsewhere. Yeah, I know, there are those lazy people out there who insist on going to work late, and not working to their full potential like some of us others do, but we still need these unions. I like working for more than $5.75 an hour, don't you? We have no unions, you can bet that's how much the "acceptable" age would be.

      Join me in helping theses strikers......I believe in thier efforts. Why in the world should Joe Blow Corporate expect hard-working citizens to take cuts---did the Ceo take one? Doubt it, what about the other parts of upper management? Why is it the bottom of the totem pole that gets cut up first?

      I am striking with you all tomorrow evening......Solidarit... Forever!

      I get the sad impression that you believe that American Auto workers should make that kind of money? Why not? How much do you make? Per hour? Does that figure include all your pension &ealth care? How much are your co-pays for health care and office visit, prescriptions?

      It seems people like you are ready to jump the gun and sit in judgement and help decide a wage for those who work hard and are trying to make a living and support thier family and community. You are allowed to make such a wage-can't we all? When you go for a drive, are you supporting overseas production on low wages? Or solid American wages-where you actually support those you live next door to?

      We should all be writing letter after letter to our Congress men and women to step up and stick up for us, the American worker, and protect our health care (LOWER the cost!), protect our children's education, etc. I hope my children are strong enough to handle working 40 + hours a week without health care..........

      I am disturbed that WE all allow these large corporations to put profit over the benefit of the employees. I doubt anyone in the auto industry that belong to a union is making 70$ per hour, however, so what if they are? Why can't the foreign automakers in this country make a decent wage of 25$ per hour or more with benefits? They can't right now because making a profit means more to the corporations. Not one corporation I have seen a report on offers their employees a fair wage (enough to pay bills, and set something aside, and improve the quality of life for the employee and their family) without belonging to a union. Why do so many "upper" managment" members make $70 per second, and then expect the people putting that money in their pocket to take so much less and have a lessor quality of life? It's that way of thinking that got us here. Big money now, forget the little guys-but make them work 40-45 hours per week and expect them to take a cut in pay when I need a raise-and while we're at it, let's ship off more jobs to foreign countries to avoid paying taxes, livable wages, and bigger profits. yeah, it seems to be working out great, doesn't it? Anyone seen the unemployment line lately? It's getting longer, and the no one seems to care-not the President, Congress, and least of all the ones who are laying us Americans off to further their profit margin and answer to stockholders that aren't even on American soil. I don't see any Chinese or Taiwan coming to my doorstep to pay my bills, but the American corporations sure are ready to do that for them.
