Both the formerly Big Three AND UAW leadership have been anti-environmental for 30 years. Passive Pelosi’s™ Band-Aid, of “requiring” the not-so-Big Three to building more fuel efficient cars with theirs bucks is contraindicated by the fact that the CAFÉ standards increase passed by Congress earlier this year has voluntary targets for nearly a decade.
What, are you going to make “voluntary” tougher?
As for GM’s whining about it’s extra healthcare cost overhead, is GM, even today, lobbying Congress for a national healthcare bill?
No. And — neither is the UAW.
(Dirty little secret — unions joined the AMA and American business organizations in killing Truman’s national healthcare plan nearly 60 years ago. The reasoning? “We got ours” on health bennies by joining a union; go and do likewise.)
Go to hell, GM. And take some politician and union dinosaurs with you.
And, I’m far from alone on that thought. If you can't restructure, or else get bought, well, that's it.
The fact that GM continues to pound money down the hydrogen car greenwash rathole, and isn’t content to launch the Volt with nickel-hydride batteries to start with, if need be, just underscores the problem.
