Rank & File get screwed

GM, UAW Win in Contract Deal

Is the headline in this AP article about the GM strike

But with every winner there must be a loser. Who is the loser here? It's going to be the rank and file members getting the screwing of a lifetime by their leadership.
Why?

Because of this

The two sides tentatively agreed Wednesday to a groundbreaking agreement that allows GM to move its unfunded retiree health care costs into an independent trust administered by the UAW.

As a guy who watched the Teamsters systematically steal his father's pension, I can guarantee a huge chunk of this money will be siphoned off to political candidates, I can hear John Edwards licking his lips as I type.

Still not enough proof? How about the NFLPA who administers the disability payments for it's members. Remember the quote from one of their members about the president

I won't stop until that bastard's gone or in jail. He's a disgrace to every player, past and current.

Good luck UAW members.
