To the individual worker that was screwed this will be meaningless - hence their action this morning. They are rightfully pissed off.

Do you think the investment bank workers who were laid off after 20 years of services weren't pissed off as well?
I didn't see them protesting and blocking trading from happening.
Seems like unions cause people to act like petulant children."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Tell me, what concessions did they make and how massive were these concessions to cause significant discourse over a period of two weeks?
The scale of the concessions seems irrelevent. The deal was x for y and both parties agreed."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

I'm no union supporter (particularly CAW) but I'd be right pissed at GM if I were a member of that union today.
I've been laid off before and that is never fun but to give concessions to prevent layoffs only to be sent packing two weeks later is dishonest at best."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

You're right. I can't think of a single time union workers have backed out or an agreement or contract by striking or whatnot."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
