I doubt it. It was an angry mob deal, kind of like the guy
who got beat to near death on live TV during the LA riots -
no one stayed in jail for that one.

And, of course, the responding cops, who would have been
union too (in a union town), probably didn't ask very many
questions....

Gee, I hope they give the same courtesy to someone who shoots a few of
these assholes....

And now, when Delphi is telling their workers to expect 50% pay cuts,
airlines are dropping pension plans right and left, and Boeing is
having their managers cross picket lines to prep spacecraft, the nation
responds with a massive, collective, yawn.

I hope it was worth it, but, then again, management was probably going
to win anyway. They always do.

Upside-down Honda!
I think the union won that contract.

Just what I always wanted: car parts made by criminals.
