KO's calling bullshit on stories of UAW workers earning $78/hour.

[Bozita]

About time someone tackled this one.

Andrew Ross Sorkin, sorry excuse for a NYT reporter, started this urban legend. He's today's "Worst Person in the World"

2. Good for him!

:thumbsup: Someone should call attention to the obscene compensation that the Auto Industry CEOs get for running their companies into the ground. It would make the UAW workers' pay look like chump change, which it is, in comparison. Waiting for that to make the 'news'. :silly:

3. ..and he did a great job of it!!!!

His slam of Glenn Beck was also masterful.

4. Go, Keith! UAW members are being slandered and it's

pi$$ing me off!

UAW members don't decide which cars to make.

UAW members didn't decide to spend millions/billions developing OnStar as opposed ot developing alternative fuels.

So, maybe the top tier of UAW members make good money. So what? Should UAW members give the money back? Should they not take the money?

Should UAW members quit their jobs because they feel guilty that they are well-paid? Do the executives quit their jobs because they feel guilty after collecting their multi-million dollar bonuses? No and no!

5. It came from the New York Times. All the bullshit does

You would think these cocksuckers at the NYT would be fact checking their reporters after the Judith Miller Iraq fiasco.

7. I want to know what is wrong with making 78/hr?

Shouldn't we all be paid well?
