Bush doesn't have to divide and conquer. Sweeney the wobblie is turning off real working people with his socialist stances and alliances with enviro whackos. You guys need another Lane Kirkland!

The power of independent unions. That seems somewhat limited in a global economy. Cost of doing business is a very complex matter. Buildings, machines, training workers, setting up a production line. Those are non recurring. Cost of materials to make something. Cost of labor to make something. Taxes and tariffs These are recurring. Does Volkswagen AG find it cheaper with tax incentives and other risk factors to move to a non union US facility or some other country. A Union may have reasonable demands or not. A strike costs both ways and can cost all. I don't know the details of this case and even if the union had reasonable demands it might cost all everything in time. It today's economy the time to press???? time will tell tom watson tosiwmee
