They bargained benefits that played a role in bankrupting the auto cos. They should have been allowed to go down. The UAW bit off the hand that feeds, but Obama was right there to save them with our $$. Screwing stock and bond holders. There is a huge difference between public and private sector unions. At least until the private sector unions need taxpayer $$ to survive.
