They deserve that money. Auto workers are the hardest workers I know. And most aren't even Union. Most are temps who are trying to get into the Union so that they don't lose their job and can get benefits that are hard to come by these days.

I realize they don't
actually take home the purported $70/hour. But, they cost more to the employer which is the problem. They could continue to make the same pay without being so expensive to the employer, at least for now while things are so grim. I'd like for them all to keep their jobs, but it won't happen if the businesses go under.
