Well, I will because I'm on the worker's side here. This may be the deciding factor for a small slice of car buyers, but I think most people are already on one side of this issue or the other. I believe the pressure from the dealers outweighs the potential lost customers, especially if it expedites the resolution.

I am down for unions, but I haven’t always been down for UAW. Granted, the current President is supposed to be different from UAW management of yore. However, I don’t get why a person who’s two weeks in should get the same pay as someone who’s 7 weeks in. I also don’t like the fact that they are screwing people over who already bought union made cars.

They targeted their most profitable vehicles. Why are repair parts second on the list? Why not target some other part of the process so new development will be impacted? Impact the companies, not consumers.
