New UAW ad: You people aren’t going to put us out of work, are you?

A poignant message from the folks who helped steer American automotives into a ditch. Too bad they mentioned cars in the voiceover; otherwise this could be recycled as is, replete with the “not a banker” class resentment element, by any industry demanding a future bailout. I’m going to file it away for redubbing just in case blog advertising dries up. That would never happen, would it?
Geraghty wonders who’ll be buying cars next year or the year after with the economy in the toilet, but I think he’s only saying that because he loves bankers. Meanwhile, NRO claims that Congress has stalled on a comprehensive bailout but that a bridge loan to punt the issue to Obama is possible. A final deal reportedly could involve a “big role” for government in restructuring the companies with even a “car czar” appointed for oversight — which has worked out super for TARP thus far. What could go wrong?

It is a price worth paying if the environmentalists have a stranglehold on everyone else. You presume that the unionbusters act virtuously in finding legal loopholes that obliterate the “secret ballot” unless you vote no.
I look forward to buying another UAW car to replace my CAW built Buick. Of course, I won’t be able to say that for the size of a Civic, I get a lot more car(long-lasting 3.8L V6 over the I-4 of yore, with only the complaints of a badly designed door-handle). I’ll have to settle for 200k miles of expensive transplants in the rear-view.

I don’t mind putting this or any union out of business one bit. The UAW creates nothing but expense, and this crybaby ad isn’t improving my opinion.
