As if owning a Chrysler wasn't bed enough, they will now own FIATs.

So I've been hearing recently that the UAW wants to sell their share in Chrysler in order to fund their health benefits.

I guess I just don't understand anymore what it takes to make the world run. Why did the union get a 55% share in Chrysler when they only held 10% of Chrysler's debt without putting anything more up for it? Why are they protected from losses in Chrysler's bankruptcy when other creditors are asked to give up almost everything?
I thought that the point of the union receiving 55% of the company was to give the union a stake in the product and success of the company, apparently though it was just to give them some free money that comes out of the pocket of everyone who has a 401k or is a taxpayer.
We can only hope the robots never unionize.
How does bolting on fenders qualify you for $90K a year?
The unions have become the problem they were formed to fight.
The UAW got their share in Chrysler under a deal because Chrysler couldn't front the cash necessary to fund their requests. They gave up shares of the company as a concession. Obviously the UAW will sell at the most profitable moment. They are not protected from losses in Chrysler's bankruptcy, they just figured the majority share would be worth more than other options.
