Autoworkers still negotiating

Auto Industry

When you're willing to give up part of your weekend and pull a 16-hour marathon session at work, chances are you're hoping something good comes out of it.
That's where negotiators for the United Auto Workers and General Motors were at til around 3 a.m. in Detroit.

The outcome is important for GM, Ford and Chrysler as the companies try to recover from combined losses of $15 billion last year.

I've just listened to Mr. Stein's concern for the poor working man. No doubt he drove his Bronco to the station to make his plea for the common man. Honestly, Ben Stein weeping for the common man's fate? After my sides stopped hurting from laughing ...
