UAW sold their membership down the drain with a $3000 signing bonus as an incentive, workers too flacking dumb to figure it out for themselves and ratified.....

Okaying the closure of 10 auto plants in the states....
full disclosure and final details have not even been released yet....still to come.....

Ford and GM both have announced existing plant shutdowns... existing plans for expansions halted........
announcement of new plants and new expansions in Canada and Mexico, in Mexicos case to fully utilize the lower labor wage rate, those autos being shipped back into US for US consumption.....

Ford will be the first to fall.....within 4 years.

their committing 100s of millions to build a new auto plant in Mexico for new autos (Not for Mexican consumption)to be shipped back to US for sale will ultimately be the straw that broke the camels back....

Ford is part of a 25% of US workforce by numbers but have to remember that for every autoworker it takes a support of 5 related industry workers in support........

sad days ahead....
