As an IBEW member I am going to tell you something. You are DEFINITELY not speaking for all of us, instead you are giving us a bad name. If you are just going to sling insults instead of debating like an adult and gentleman, why not give up while you can?

No, they're part of the Weasel family.
A guess someone in the union can't be bothered to look up facts as it's not part of their job and would be 'beneath them'.

Every time you use that word you lower the union to the level of scum and put yourself in the realm of a bigot.

Actually, you didn't. You just made that up to try to make yourself look smarter that you really are.
And right now, you ain't lookin' so smart.
BTW, is this the 'legacy' you're asking about?

To most people around the country the word "Legacy" symbolizes the extra $2,000+ that each American car costs just to pay off the huge pensions of the rich union members who performed their factory job by pressed a button or screwed on a panel.
Because of those legacy costs the hard working American taxpayer has to bail out the American car companies to the tune of many billions of dollars.

It used to be that the auto company held some money back, a little for each vehicle, just as they do for possible warranty repairs. There was a plan and it seemed to work. As the pot grew it got to be too much of a temptation not to tap into. The companies started calling the SAVED MONEY for pensions as part of their liquid assets, so to speak. With government approval they were able to carry less and less of a percentage, balance to cover future pensioners, just as the banks do as far as their percentage of assets to cover what we all save.
The auto companies keep doing this and now the time has come to pay up...cover their pensioners and they spent the money, already.
I don't quite see why you say it is the worker's fault.

What is your point? I answered the man's question. It seems like you are trying to refute something, but you failed at even making a literate response.

So what you are saying is that the American car companies can't afford to pay off the pensions with all the high labor rates, correct? Well then it seems like it's time to lower those rates, correct?

Because the workers, who extort high rates thru force and thuggery, are eating up all the money, making American cars cost so much and lowering their sales.

As far as I know the average auto worker makes about $60,000.00 a year. They are working ten hour days with many of them working with pain from carpel tunnel , and various other injuries that have occurred on the job. It takes a good wage to get people to show up every day and to work under the conditions that most of us do.
And by the way , does 60k sound excessive to you. If it does, maybe should look for another line of work.
