The UAW did accept a two tier pay system so new guys hired in make only $14 an hour. And honestly, it is very difficult to raise a family on $23 an hour. They do some things that seem greedy, but all in all, they made salaries higher for everybody... both blue and white collar employees.

Issues with the auto companies go far beyond the UAW. The very fact that they have to compete with foreign auto companies who don't have to pay a dime for health care for their employees puts them at a distinct disadvantage.
