What the Teamsters don’t understand, that they don’t own the company, therefore they can’t dictate what they get paid. Nor can they dictate ANYTHING about a company that they don’t own.

Unions are the ABSOLUTE cause of the crash of the American car market. Did you know that Ford spent over $1.2Billion in medications fro retired employees. How can a company make a profit when they are exposed to those kind of costs?

W/O the union entitlements, the U.S. car market would actually be making profits. Look at Kia and Hyundai. They are making money hand over fist!!!!
