Walking the Picket line

Here in Indy, we have a GM plant that is scheduled to be shut down next year. A potential buyer stepped up and offered existing UAW members a reduced compensation package to keep the plant open. They would still maintain transfer rights to another GM plant and they voted it down. Potential buyer has pulled out and the plant is closing down. Not a good time to be voting down continued employment as there are THOUSANDS who would be in line to take your place today.

Continued employment at what cost? Just because someone will work the same job for less, doesn't mean skill workers should buckle under the pressure to give up what they rightfully fought to obtain.
