October 21, 2005strippper a go go
the final full strip
in auto
is on
and yet
the UAW soup hounds
still won't cry
" battle stations"
why ????
why why why
why
go quietly into this dark night ????
==========================================
this
payroll strip is no tease
the auto workers
both retired
and active
are headed straight to their birthday suits
and still no mobilization
look back at the steel workers u boobs
are u goin down on the bosses
likewise ?????
call out the gang
nation wide
at all three domestic makers
plus the parts plants
plus the .. plus
plus
plus
brake the contracts
brake the law
get thrown in jail
pull a full Debs here
if this is alamo time
and sure
AS HELL
it looks like it...
then
fucking at least
GO DOWN SWINGING
--------
here's the local press
they might as well
be egging u on
la times :
"Workers at auto parts maker Delphi Corp
will be asked this week
to take a two-thirds pay cut
It's one of the most drastic
wage concessions ever sought
from unionized employees"
"Workers at General Motors Corp
tentatively agreed on Monday
to absorb billions of dollars
in healthcare costs"
" Ford Motor Co.
and DaimlerChrysler employees
are certain to face similar demands"
"Prospects for the rank-and-file at Delphi
are grim.....
Labor historians say they can't remember
a moment during an economic recovery
when so many at one company
were asked to give back so much all at once"
" Delphi employees earn an average of $27 an hour
in addition to medical and retirement benefits
By contrast, workers at Delphi's
profitable China operations earn about $3 an hour"
"Vacations reportedly will be slashed
from six weeks to four weeks.
Healthcare premiums will be higher.
The company's pension contributions
will be lower.
Paid holidays will shrink
from 17 a year to as few as 10
. And wages will fall sharply,
to as low as $10 or $12 an hour"
----------------------------------------
behold the hand wringers :
Harley Shaiken:
"If the only way to compete
is with $10 wages
we have a problem
that is much larger
than just Delphi.
We're looking at a society
where people exit
rather than enter
the middle class."
Jared Bernstein :
"A few hundred thousand jobs
may have been lost directly
to cheaper jobs overseas
But what's under-recognized
is how millions of others
might have kept their jobs
— or at least, a job —
but lost current or future benefits"
Leon Fink :
"There used to be a kind
of floor for worker welfare:
but today
we're now living in an age
in which all the old standards
have come unglued."
where's the friend of labor calling for massive job actions
sit downs occupations sieges
we shall not be moved
bring on
the riot sticks
the smoke bombs
the rubber bullets
take some of this garbage
and flush it back in their faces
