Update (03/30/2009): Now we called it. Its unfortunate because a union, has yielded an auto manufactures demise. Ron, you should be proud of yourself. Yet you make decent pay, all of the people who rely on your decisions are going to get the shaft. The union leadership is weak. Your negotiation skill are bunk. and you have failed.

Government funds have thus far saved you but its to late. Bankruptcy court is the only option.

The UAW’s idiocracy will yield the demise of thousands of American jobs. Its time to fail this legislation and force the “Big 3” into bankruptcy. Ron Gettelfinger, should be happy at what he has helped to create, and what he represents. With the UAW at the root of the auto industry collapse, Ron Gettelfinger and CO. should also be glad to watch the demise of:

10's of thousands of jobs lost,
Plastics and rubber products,
Primary metal,
Machinery,
Semiconductors,
Finance and insurance,
Company and enterprises,
Fabricated metal products,
Computer and electronic products,
Wholesale and retail trade,
Transportation,
Professional and scientific technical services,
Waste management,
Remediation services,

On the contrary:
We are not just talking about some small boutique industry here; we are talking about a vital connection to entire American economy. The American workers make a good product, when they are aloud to make the product. We have to have confidence in our nation; we have to have confidence in our ability to make things. Its just unfortunate the auto industry is represented by such ass clowns.

Do we have any since of the impact this failure would mean?

America cannot descent into a second class power. Steel automotive, aerospace and shipping are vital to our national defense. Let’s move forward, force the auto industry into bankruptcy, offload the UAW and get things back in working order.
