>> Wrong about moving those jobs to China.

Not wrong at all. About a month or two after it was wrongfully declared "Lie of the Year", the facts came out.

>> If you had bothered to read the article, business has increased so much that the workers are working 60 hours a week.

I read the article, but I don't see how increasing business from a record slump is anything astonishing. It is interesting that they're using PT instead of FT workers, but one cannot conceivable know what that it without looking at internal financial data.

But there is nothing in what you posted that even remotely suggests Mitt was wrong about Chrysler; the bankruptcy process that was used will play out over a period of years. As I told you at the time, and I believe Mitt said it as well, the corrupt bankruptcy process left unions in a position of power, and that was a mistake that will ultimately land these companies back in Chapter 11.

Unions are 100% about protecting members from non-members and getting as much as possible for those members now, today, regardless of what it does to the future (see: Detroit public-sector unions, which have left their members high-and-dry with NOTHING).
