They need to understand that if they keep this crap up for any period of time GM is going to be in major trouble, and if the UAW contributes to the death of GM(God forbid), I'm sure Ford and Chrysler will be worried about their own butts, this could end badly for all parties involved.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nissanfreak87]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2007 5:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/24/teamsters-wont-cross-uaw-picket-line-to-deliver-parts-and-cars/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/24/teamsters-wont-cross-uaw-picket-line-to-deliver-parts-and-cars/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh don't worry, they'll realize it once they realize that rather than getting fired, there's suddenly no company left to work for anymore.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[paul34]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2007 10:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/24/teamsters-wont-cross-uaw-picket-line-to-deliver-parts-and-cars/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/24/teamsters-wont-cross-uaw-picket-line-to-deliver-parts-and-cars/</guid><description><![CDATA[TaknoBoi ...

Take a page out of the airline workers books, suck it up and be happy to have a job. Realize that screwing the employer will just hurt you in the end. As it is right now they are making more than double what the average American household makes. FYI, the average HOUSEHOLD (Everyone in the house's income combined) is right around $45-46,000. These autoworkers are by no means poor. If they want more money, get rid of the UAW and keep the dues they have to pay.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Seminole]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2007 5:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/24/teamsters-wont-cross-uaw-picket-line-to-deliver-parts-and-cars/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/24/teamsters-wont-cross-uaw-picket-line-to-deliver-parts-and-cars/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good for GM.  I'm sure there is no easy answer to this but I'd side with GM and say starve them out.
