Union Busting

Let's call all this talk , about restructuring and reforming the auto industry, and talk about a"car czar", coming from southern Senators and House members what it really is....union hating, union busting, rhetoric. These guys have never liked unions and never liked working people having benefits. They have given millions of dollars in tax breaks to foreign corporations to come into their states, take the profits out of the country, and pay their citizens a non union job wage.

These southern union busters, and their corporate media whores, have perpetuated the lie that a US autoworker makes $78 per hour in wages and benefits. The truth is, it's closer to $50 an hour, and new hires are paid between $12 and $14 an hour plus benefits. Why does it bother them so much that a blue collar worker is making around $50,000 a year and getting health care? Why does it bother them so much that a person who has worked for 40-45 years for a company, created billions in wealth for this country, is having their health care paid for by GM or Ford after they retire? Why aren't they MORE CONCERNED about the incredibly high cost of health care in America?

Don't expect guys like Senators Shelby and Sessions to do anything to lower health care costs. They're too busy doing everything they can to eradicate the middle class.
