Auto Workers Retain Their Jobs!

After the protest organized by CAW last week, the auto workers and Chrysler accepted the labour concession voted over the weekend, which not only saves lots of money a year for Chrysler but who protects the workers' jobs. That may be good news for both sides. Although some benefits of workers are cut, the base pay is still retained. That is better than getting laid off. For Chrysler, saving such amount money a year is indeed beneficial in the current

global economic crisis.

Who wants to be laid off? Who wants to get a wage cut? Nobody! But, a big companywhich wants to survive in the economic crisis, only adopt some methods for self -surviving, e.g. cut down the cost including physical and material and get the bailout from the government. Otherwise, they will face the bankruptcy, which would be terrible for both workers and company. I think CAW played an important role in this event. The auto workers should appreciate CAW helping them save the jobs and Chrysler should appreciate CAW persuading the workers to agree to the wage cut. So finding a job you must check if there is union that would give emplyees a lot of help. I am glad to see this result. Under the current situation, having a job with a not-too-bad salary is a lucky thing!
