Its the only way out, IMO.
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

If they claim bankruptcy the union contracts will be void?

I do not believe that to be the case. Though in order for them to continue to keep their jobs, and if they want this bailout to happen....the UAW is going to have to make some concessions be they temporary or permanent....and they will have to go to a vote of the UAW....that could take too much time! Did you know that 3600 workers were without work this year and that they still receive 95% of their pay??? They sit in a big union hall all day, play cards and take naps.......this was on the Today show yesterday!!!
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Not to worry, the governent added 7,000 new jobs in November.

Just 7,000 more slaries, benefits and retirement plans for our citizens to pay for.

25 years and out, then find another government job on a different state, county or local level and double dip retirement.

Not bad, not bad at all.
