Not the UAW.  Lost my job to Mexico via NAFTA.  Missouri used to have the most car plants in the USA believe it or not.  Corvette in STL, ford in hazelwood, two Chrysler plants in Fenton, Wentzville assembly and the KC plant.  Plus all of feeder plants like mine.  Fisher Body.  All gone but Wentzville.  Management threatened plant closures unless the UAW voted in the tired wage system like UPS.  New hires get Half the pay of the pre contract workers.  So they offer buyouts and hire more new people.  I left under the old contract.  

Your Republican buddies did that to you, Mitch and hundreds of thousands of others.

That's. a funny one there. I was in UAW, too. The D's pushed NAFTA on us. When Richard Gerhardt would come and  and we would complain that it would kill our jobs, he would tell us they would fix it after it passed.  If I could point to one thing that turned the folks at Wentzville assembly into republicans NAFTA would be it.
