December 15, 2008 UAW President Slams GOP for Killing Auto Bailout
United Auto Workers President Ronald A. Gettelfinger lashed out against
Senate Republicans a day after a congressional compromise on an auto
industry bailout failed, accusing the lawmakers of trying to "pierce the heart
of organized labor." Gettelfinger, at a news conference yesterday
in Detroit, welcomed a statement from the White House that said the
administration was willing to use funds
targeted for bailing out the financial system to help the autoworkers.
But he repeated his insistence that bankruptcy isn't an option, saying
failure at any one automaker would force firms across the industry to
collapse. The Republican Senate proposal sought to cut UAW wages, bringing
them in line - or at "parity" - with what workers earn at
foreign-owned, non-unionized plants in the United States. A failure
in Congress to reach
an agreement on the wage-cut proposal Thursday night doomed the $14
billion industry rescue package.
