It is absolutely shameful for the CAW to expect me the taxpayer, to fulfill their bloated pension obligations.
Had they been partners with the company rather than adversaries they would not have negotiated a deal(s) that jeopardized their employers (and their own) future.
Rather than ensuring that this specific group gets its full pension, I would much rather have the govt spend (any available) money retraining the hundreds of thousands of supplier employees who will be out of work because of the auto industry stupidity (Company and Union).
Any available money would also be much better spent supporting growing businesses that might actually hire people in the future and contribute to the public good rather than sponge from it
This will be a tremendous waste of taxpayer $ on a specific group that foolishly absolved itself of any responsibility for its future. After bleeding its initial partner into bankruptcy (its employer) with ridiculous demands (always backed by the treat of a strike) it is now looking for the public tit to suckle until it is dry
NOT A DIME OF GOVT $ TO THIS GROUP.
It is a very slippery slope that will have every industry with its hand out
