boo hoo uaw workers

I felt bad for the GM workers in Janesville for about one day. That was until this morning listening to the radio and the had on someone that has worked with the UAW contract. Here are some things the media isn't telling you. Every workers with more that 5 years of "time in" will get 39 month pay at 85% of their wages and keep their health care for that time . When that 39 month runs out they also will get 60% percent of their pay as long as they stay a full time student training for a new career. Wait it gets better. They have the option to "bump" other workers out of jobs in other GM locations, if they don't bump another workers and accept the layoff they can collect Unemployment Insurance from the state as well. You ask why, because taking the layoff prevents someone else from losing their income/job. So if you play your cards right. You can collect 85% of your wage plus $335 a week for 39 weeks. Then when the unemployment runs out you get the 85% of your wages for the next two year. Then towards the end of that two years you sign up for class at a 4 years college and get your 60% pay for a guarantied 60 months period and you have had health care the whole time.

Wow I hope no one every wonders why Toyota and Honda at killing the middle three.
