A Florida congressman today called on the Obama administration to demand the firing of UAW President Ron Gettelfinger, saying the union was just as responsible for the predicament at General Motors Corp. as ousted chairman Rick Wagoner.
U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fla., said Gettelfinger had called strikes which had hurt the industry and refused concessions to improve the finances of Detroit’s automakers. “If President Obama is willing to fire the CEO of General Motors because of his failures, then he should be even-handed in demanding Ron Gettelfinger’s resignation for his equally egregious failures,” Mack said in a statement. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
