Marines driven out of UAW lot

[Twist_U_Up]

The UAW no longer will allow Marine reservists who work out of a base in Detroit to park at the Solidarity House lot if they have foreign cars or display pro-Bush bumper stickers.

Being a Union IronWorker I can't back this move by UAW.
We are at war.Now is not the time or place. If the UAW President feels a need to vent his frustrations, ole chimpy has plenty to point out.

Wouldn`t it get alot more attention if they posted a huge Anti Import-Anti-Bush sign at the front entrance ? Education would work more than a cold shoulder.

1. THIS IS FROM MARCH 13, 2005

It's old news and I think it has already been settled to allow them to park.

3. I used to work at Solidarity House

and there is not enough room for employees to park let alone other entities.

2. This is a very old story...

From at least last spring I think. The UAW eventually reversed their stance after realizing what a boneheaded move it was. Cheers.

4. A honda made in ohio is foreign, a chrystler made in mexico isn't

and in either case, the profits go to those who own stock, not those who work the line. WTF?

6. "We are at war. Now is not the time or place."

Sounds like Ari Fleischer. Just sayin'.

If this "war" on terror never ends, can we never speak up?

7. By now, they should used to being driven out of places ...

they don't belong.

No worries. They're tough guys. They can take it.

8. Why? Bush and his ilk are union busters and they don't care

about the auto workers or the economy.

9. Did you mean "ilk,"
