<UAW members bargained for and received Tuesday 11-7 as a paid day off.>
**************
Flapjack,

Why do UAW members need a non productive paid holiday in order to cast their vote. The rest of the nation seems to vote without the benefit of a paid day off. Most polls are open at least 12 hours, so time constraints are not a factor
Sounds like the rest of the country is subsidizing them as a potential vote transporter for the preferred voters. Rather expensive for the company... 130,000 members? @$150.00? avg.= $19,500,000.00. Plus how much does it cost to shut down the plant for a day? Rather expensive vote I'd say. JMHO
