neo cons making secret deal with car companies?

http://counterpunch.com/


-snip-

So why would GMAC want to become a bank holding company if General Motors is headed for the chopping block? Could it be that the government is working out a secret deal with management to put the company through Chapter 11 (reorganization) just so it can crush the union and eliminate their pension and health care benefits in one fell swoop?

You bet. Car workers will be reduced to slave wages just like they are in sunny Alabama where sharecropping has moved indoors. And--no surprise--the Democrats are right on board with this labor-busting charade. The auto industry isn't going to be shut down. That's just more fear-mongering like the blather about martial law and WMD. Detroit is going to be transformed into a workers gulag; Siberia on Lake Michigan, which is why Paulson is withholding the $25 billion. It's plain old class warfare.

this thread is not about the whole article, just the secret deal with car comp. and unions - OK

3. If this is the case I hope that Obama stays clear of this.
Minimum wage for Main Street is not a Change we can believe in. He had the unions fighting the fight last month. Hope he remembers.
