6. The real issue

:shrug: Is not the cost of health care benefits what is creating this problem? Do these idiots expect the unions to give up medical coverage to save the Company? When will they learn that the foreign manufacturers don't need to provide medical benefits because their governments handle it, eliminating the huge overhead expense this causes. The lack of universal health care is causing so many problems for the "lesser" classes.

7. what the hell is Rivera talking about

being more competitive with foreign automakers? (From 2007)
The UAW is losing its edge in pay compared with non-unionized U.S. assembly plant workers for foreign companies, even as Detroit automakers aim for deeper benefit cuts to trim their losses.

In that instance, Toyota Motor Corp. gave workers at its largest U.S. plant bonuses of $6,000 to $8,000, boosting the average pay at the Georgetown, KY, plant to the equivalent of $30 an hour. That compares with a $27 hourly average for UAW workers, most of whom did not receive profit-sharing checks last year. Toyota would not provide a U.S. average, but said its 7,000-worker Georgetown plant is representative of its U.S. operations.

Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co. are not far behind Toyota and UAW pay levels. Comparable wages have long been one way foreign companies fight off UAW organizing efforts.
