Corker: Classless
 |
|
America’s economy is in a tailspin and millions of the nation’s autoworkers could lose family-supporting jobs if the industry tanks, but Republican Sen. Bob Corker knows what he’s concerned about: the “Valentine’s” Day cards autoworkers and their allies delivered to his Tennessee office.
I think delivering 4,200 incredibly tacky Valentine’s to my office was a classless thing to do.
Classless. The gall! The gall of workers who, if Corker had his way, would lose their jobs or get such severe cuts in pay they would become more casualties of the lingering Bush war on the middle class. Corker fought against assistance to the auto industry in December and voted against the economic recovery package that would save or create 3.5 million U.S. jobs.

If you’re in the market for a new car and you want to support good union jobs at the same time, check out a website that lists vehicles made by union workers in this country.
The “UAW Made” guide provides information for consumers who want to buy vehicles produced by workers who enjoy the benefits and protections of a union contract. All the vehicles are made in the United States or Canada by members of the UAW, Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) or IUE-CWA.
The list includes cars, vans, pickups and SUVs made by UAW and CAW members.
