Why would Toyota be looking to lower wages like that? Haven't they been on a double-digit percentage sales tear lately? Why would they be hurting for cash?]]>Mar 14th 2007 4:23PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/14/uaw-says-union-fever-rising-at-toyotas-kentucky-plant/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/14/uaw-says-union-fever-rising-at-toyotas-kentucky-plant/
Here's a novel idea: make union membership optional, and none of that "representation fee" crap. Do that nationwide, UAW, and let the people decide what's best for them.]]>Mar 14th 2007 4:24PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/14/uaw-says-union-fever-rising-at-toyotas-kentucky-plant/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/14/uaw-says-union-fever-rising-at-toyotas-kentucky-plant/
They invited the increased interest themselves.. The UAW has been after them from day 1.. They just made it easy for them now.

YAY getting more american everyday, while barely making 50% of the cars they sell here domestically :tardski:]]>Mar 14th 2007 4:30PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/14/uaw-says-union-fever-rising-at-toyotas-kentucky-plant/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/14/uaw-says-union-fever-rising-at-toyotas-kentucky-plant/Mar 14th 2007 4:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/14/uaw-says-union-fever-rising-at-toyotas-kentucky-plant/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/14/uaw-says-union-fever-rising-at-toyotas-kentucky-plant/Mar 14th 2007 4:49PM
