UAW President Says For Auto Workers Obama Is A Much Better Deal Than McCain

http://www.laborradio.org/node/9249

By Doug Cunningham

United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger says Senator Barack Obama is taking action to support American workers that will help automakers build cars of the future right here in the U.S. That includes a pledge of $4 billion in investments and low-interest credit for American auto companies. In stark contrast, Gettelfinger says, is Senator John McCain. The UAW president says McCain seems content to rely upon the failed policies of George W. Bush, which have cost American workers millions of good-paying manufacturing jobs. Gettelfinger says when it comes to which candidate will be best for the country’s workers, the UAW believes the choice for president could not be more clear – Obama is committed to changing failed policies while McCain is offering nothing but more of the same failed economic policies.

1. When has a Republican president ever supported the UAW?

Ron Pullmylittlefinger needs to retire and let someone with fire in his balls take over the reigns of the once mighty UAW. I have grown very disillusioned with our leader. VERY.
