GM borrowed and owed many individuals and companies billions that was discarded by bankruptcy. All those contracts are just as much a promise as the Delphi contract. You didn't seem to think it was a broken promise to discard them in bankruptcy, why do you only consider it a promise with UAW members?

You do understand that the company isn't financially able to do that thus the bankruptcy. The company could have just been liquidated and everyone would have gotten less and that might make you happy but I'm more supportive of as many workers getting their pensions as possible.


So you admit that, in a normal situation, everyone would have shared the pain equally. However, under the Obama plan, the UAW got more than the others.

Therefore, you admit that the UAW got special treatment.


No. As previously discussed not everyone is treated equally under bankruptcy. (remember how you were for the miniority creditors who wanted to get paid first?) Even with the pension bailout the government doesn't distribute funds equally. Those that were with a company longer get more.

Fair play!
