The union helped the company, they used the money to line thier pockets.Delphi wants the union to lower the wages down to $8.50 to $10.00 per hour. The money saved will be given to the executives so they will stick around.Sticking it to the little guy. If pension accounts would have been properly funded, states would initiate a health care system that covers everyone, and limit the ammount of imported goods vs. exported goods, we would have little to worry about.When you ship work overseas, you loose that work. Uemployment rates can be misleading. If the average person used to make $50,000/year 5 years ago with a unemployment rate of 7% then today the average person makes $20,000/year with a 4% unemployment rate, what is a better situation to be in?The numbers I listed were made up, but I am just trying to demonstrate how the unemployment percentage rate can be very misleading.Tom</blockquote>
