In today's Automotive news...
DETROIT -- The UAW won't agree to concessions on health care costs with the Chrysler group as it did with General Motors and Ford Motor Co. in the past year, UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said today.
Gettelfinger said the union's financial advisers had looked at the Chrysler group's financial situation, and he didn't see a way the UAW would go forward with concessions on health care.
This doesn't surprise me, the UAW always picks not to work with
the Detroit car makers any chance it gets, while the Asian car makers have refused to allow the unions into their ranks, and continued to gain market share at the same time, the UAW continues to behave like it's still the only game it town, it's time for the UAW and the American car makers to drop their adversarial relationships and work together, I'm not advocating that unions go away, on the contrary,
I believe that unions have a very important role to play, we need union representation in certain industries that would otherwise take unfair advantage of certain situations.
We need Unions in the world more than ever,it's just that the way the unions and the companies they work with, must change the way they relate to the other.
