Prediction. He'll repeat the same discredited talking points he's made in the past and change the tread title to something generic that doesn't mention his beloved UAW.

As noted before, you're blinded by your own partisanship. So much so that you don't even realize that your argument was disposed of in my earlier post:

UAW employees will have their pensions made whole by GM, which insists it is merely fulfilling its end of a deal made with the UAW in 1999 (when it spun off Delphi) to cover any future pension shortfall. Few such obligations usually survive bankruptcy....Less fortunate are smaller unions .... who already lost their health care and life insurance plans on April 1.... They would seem to lack the UAW’s clout inside GM and the Obama Administration....


You claim that this is a simple matter of union bargaining. However, the UAW is getting better treatment than the other unions. Furthermore, the UAW is getting better treatment than a union normally gets in a bankruptcy.

Better treatment=special favors. This isn't difficult to see. Just take off your official DNC talking point blinders.
