Washington to Detroit - Drop Dead?
with
Frank Hammer, Former President, UAW Local 909, Warren, Michigan
and
Warren Brown, Auto Columnist, "Washington Post "

When auto executives and unions leaders came to Washington
to ask for a $25 billion bailout, they expected a cold shoulder from Bush, but got one from many in the Congress as well. Is the Federal government really willing to take the risk of adding more than a million auto workers to the unemployment lines that snake through-out the Midwest? And, what would happen to the wages and working conditions of auto workers that might keep their jobs with the big three companies, or other auto workers across the region and nation?
