and i won't be arguing with you on this, so please, no need to reply.

i am simply setting the record straight with a report from a respectable source.
I understand why you're easily confused. It takes more thought to understand it than just grabbing the first quote you come across.
but I don't mind teaching people who want to "set the record straight"
http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/...wnership_N.htm
"""The United Auto Workers union will own 55% of a restructured Chrysler LLC and its retiree health care trust will get a seat on the board if union members vote to approve contract concessions this week."""

Thats controlling interest for those of you setting the record straight.

"""The deal likely will serve as the template for a pact with General Motors Corp."""

so 2 of the big three will be owned by the unions.

question for those of you looking to set the record straight:
what happens when its time for Ford to negotiate the next contract with the UAW? you know, the UAW who is no longer just Ford's labor force but is now also its biggest (and larger) competitor?


but hey, thanks for setting the record straight.
no need to reply. it takes thought, not the ability to cut and paste, to have a conversation.
