the final   full strip 
            in auto
                is on

          still won't cry
 
         " battle stations"

              why why why 

  why 
        go quietly into this dark night  ????

==========================================

        payroll  strip is no tease 
       the auto workers
both  retired
           and active
   are headed straight to their  birthday suits 

         and still no mobilization

                                 likewise ?????


          call out the gang 
           nation wide 

               at all three  domestic makers 

          plus the parts plants 
                            plus the .. plus

        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
