It is funny that people that are in unions never speak out against them, yes at one time in this country unions were good and needed. Now they are just bullies and in the pockets of the Democratic party.

It is funny to see "conserative" union members blindly support the union, mean while their union is supporting the dems. like there is no tomorrow.

O well just more assbackwardness of this country.

Some 3.4 million metal-industry and engineering workers across Germany at companies like BMW, DaimlerChrysler and Siemens are demanding a 5 percent pay increase as companies increase their profits through productivity gains.

I'm glad you finally understand I'm not saying that all union workers are great, believe me, I have met alot of worthless people.

So have I and most of them seek the shelter of a union to protect them because they cannot compete on their merits.

I want you to work 16 hour days, including weekends, forget about holidays, forget about a lunch hour or safe working environments, forget about sick leave, forget about maternity leave, forget about age, sex, and racial discriminations......

Try living your life without all the good things that have come from the sacrifices that working men and women of unions have made, and then tell me again that unions suck.

I'm not union and I get all those.........except maternity leave.

Daimler WHAT?? How old is this news??

And what would workers in Germany have to do with the UAW??

The truth is, US workers are the least unionized workforce of most industrialized nations.
