How DARE conservatives tell blue collar workers that they make too much! To be clear, I don't fault anyone who uses legal, reasonable and fair means to get all they can get. But these UAW gains are through legalized extortion. Someone is going to need to explain precisely HOW the UAW's extortion is fundamentally ANY DIFFERENT from the protection rackets once run by the Mafia. It looks the same to me (and in fact, it looked the same to the Mafia for years -- one of their common ploys was to threaten business owners with "labor trouble"). Legalized extortion.
