UAW is making themselves look bad by not even considering taking a small cut in pay. but they will all bitch when they have no pay, if its going to SAVE your job, i'd think you would take a small cut, hell they can even negotiate to be reinstated at the current wage once everything passes, which it will eventually.

Yeah, it definetely must suck to have to take a pay cut. However, it might be a good idea to consider that now that UAW still has some negotiation power. If GM goes into Chapter 11, they won't have much of that anymore.

Oh well...
