I think it's an ideal time for the UAW to bring the ship to its knees so that maybe management will look in the mirror. I doubt it and I figure the ship will sink and all the muppets will blame the UAW.

Do we tar everyone with the same brush? Not at all. But some impressions last a long, long time. Want to rehabilitate your image? Talk about saving GM Ford and Chrysler in North America, and not bringing them to their knees.
You see, the ship won't care when it operates out of China, which has HUGE growth potential for GM.
