SilverNRed Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Link Another heartwarming story of union workers looking out for, um, themselves exclusively. Marines at nearby Marine Corps Reserve Center say on Tuesday morning, the director of security at the UAW told them that while they support the troops, Marines driving foreign vehicles or sporting a President George Bush bumper sticker were no longer welcome to park there. Good thing they "support the troops." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverNRed Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 More Coverage "You either support the Marines or you don't," said Lt. Col. Joe Rutledge, commanding officer of the battalion's active duty instructors. "I'm telling my Marines that they're no longer parking there." At a time when U.S. armed forces are fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan, quibbling over parking privileges is "silly," Rutledge said. But there is some good news: The UAW has a long history of barring foreign-made cars from its parking lots. The subject is touchier than ever as Detroit's Big Three loses market share, driving down union membership. Wonder why the "Big Three" is having such a hard time.
