MICKEY KAUS: Ford/UAW Deal In Trouble:

The deal between the UAW and Ford is in trouble. UAW members appear to be on the brink of rejecting it. That means a strike is possible. Will the UAW win a strike? I don’t think so, and the UAW leadership apparently doesn’t think so either. Remember that hundreds of thousands of competent American workers would happily perform UAW members jobs for half of UAW pay. A UAW Facebook post warning members that Ford could hire “replacement workers” has been withdrawn, but that doesn’t mean Ford won’t and it doesn’t mean the union hierachy isn’t worried.

We’d be better off without the UAW.
