Bloated and Insatiable American Unions, Euro Mobocracy... Same Thing

At a recent UAW meeting, UAW chief Ron Gettelfinger spoke about the need for the union to deal with the auto makers. He talked about the dreadful state of Ford and GM and how they are both losing jobs. UAW jobs.

"But it's going to take more than what we can do at the bargaining table. There are failed [political] strategies that have failed to protect our jobs."

Making it more difficult to get rid of workers makes it less likely the workers will be hired in the first place. There's a whole country that's tried this. It's called France.
