There *are* other car manufacturers out there, and with their increased demand, they would hire some of the unemployed. And given how atrocious the UAW is at managing employee benefits, the big 3 had done far too much to deserve an auto bailout. Why aren't Nissan, Toyota, or Honda looking for handouts, too? |
They are actually.
Or at least it's expected.
I don't know how you can blame the UAW... the Big 3 are the ones who granted them those benifits. The UAW weren't the ones who were supposed to handle the money that pays for the retirees and employees benfits. The Automakers were supposed to handle all that.
