merrie says:

The UAW is playing the role of Vinnie Barbarino from that horrible 70s sitcom Welcome Back Kotter. When people mention fraud, graft, and corruption, the UAW is saying “what, who, where?” and pretending it doesn’t see any. Then, when the matter is pressed, the UAW looks to blame everyone but itself.

This is why there should never be a bailout for the auto makers. Nothing. Not a penny. The unions need to be heavily pressured or there will never be any way for the auto industry to make a competitive come back.
