The strike called by Gary Jones is the gift the keeps on giving. It cost GM billions of dollars in revenue, which could be used during the current virus pandemic, and alienated GM customers that were unable to get their GM vehicles fixed.

I wonder how many alienated GM customers don’t feel sorry for the UAW workers that are out-of-work now?

No worries, he's gonna pay some money back maybe, he's gonna be in jail for a bit of time, write a book, discover Jesus or Allah and declare himself vindicated and released on good behavior as a "no threat to society". Then he's gonna be back at it; it's not like he's gonna get a job. Scum will always be scum.

*While he was president, Dennis Williams allegedly rented a luxury villa in a gated California community for more than a quarter of the year in 2016, at a cost to union members of over $15,000.

*Under the nom de guerre “Gary Jones Group,” officials allegedly purchased enough golf bags, balls, clubs, polo shirts, and “men’s fashion shorts” to rack up over $80,000 in charges over a three-year period at one golf store in a Palm Springs, California, resort.

*Officials, including Official A, allegedly used union funds to go horseback riding on the beach with their spouses and spent thousands of dollars on spa treatments.

*In a single month, between December 29, 2014, and January 29, 2015, the union paid for 107 18-hole rounds of golf for UAW officials. That’s 1,926 holes.

*On New Year’s Eve in 2016, senior officials ran up a $6,599.87 tab partying at LG Prime Steakhouse, which included the purchase of four bottles of Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne. The Cristal Champagne costs $440 per bottle and is touted by the maker as having been created in the 19th century to “satisfy the demanding tastes of Tsar Alexander II.”

"Since 2010, Robinson cashed as much as $700,000 in checks from the UAW council and split the money with Jones, according to court records.
"After Edward N. Robinson obtained the cash, he split the hundreds of thousands in dollars in cash proceeds with UAW Official A...," Assistant U.S. Attorneys David Gardey and Steven Cares wrote in the court filing. "Between 2010 and 2017, UAW Official A deposited over $93,000 in cash into one of his personal bank accounts.""

This is an absolutely great read. Long but it really puts it into perspective.
