UAW vs. USMC
Support the troops? Nope, not the UAW. There's a Chevy van in my driveway, but this kind of UAW stunt almost makes me decide never to buy an "American" automobile again.

Speaking of cars, I am reminded of the bumper sticker which read, "If you can read this, thank a teacher. If it's in English, thank a soldier."

The moral vacuity of this UAW chapter beggars belief in a time when Marines are fighting and some dying to defend the American political and social system that makes the existence of unions possible. I don't recall that unions were organizing and collective bargaining in Talibania, which we now know as the free and democratic Afghanistan.

Update: It seems that certain bumper stickers cause all sorts of people to go bananas.

Update: Blackfive reports that national UAW President Ron Gettelfinger is a former Marine. Gettelfinger called the Marine commander and told him that he just reversed the policy.
