		<description>I saw on TV a major news channel interviewing 3 generations of GM workers “suffering” the consequences of poor management however, they are a great part of the problem or at least the union they belong to, the UAW.

It is not right that for everyone else in America, if you want to prosper?, you need to apply yourself, go to college, earn your pay grade conmesurate with your education and effort. However, with UAW there another side, you have these families thinking they are entitled to ever increasing salaries and perpetual health benefit coverage without investing in their futures and passing the buck to their employer under the umbrella of their union.

I think that by the third generation of the family on TV and others alike, the dependence on the union and the big 3 should have been broken and the newer family member become a professional engineer, doctor or other.

Unions such as the UAW are just a competitive burden on american business. They need to be restructured or disolved as part of the “bailout”… along with Big 3 management, whom also share the blame for letting UAW squeeze them for so long.

Hoping for a better future, one where all of us take care of ourselves without expecting government or big business to take care of us.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know what the severance agreement with the current CEO&#039;s look like.  But others are starting to call for their ouster as well, including Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd.  http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&amp;sid=al3FJ0.QT5yI&amp;refer=home</description>

		<description>The leadership should perhaps sit down with their respective boards and ask, &quot;what kind of leader would you replace me with?&quot; and then decide if they can become that person.  If they cannot, send them home.  By the way, what does their severance package look like?  This is going to be ugly...</description>
