Increase other workers' salaries, don't decrease the 3 giants' salaries

Thanks George Bush. The salvation package for the 3 big auto giants came with strings attached: reduce the salaries of their workers to the level of the salaries foreign owned manufacturers pay their workers. How about asking them to pay their workers Indian or Chinese salaries???

Instead of asking the foreign owned companies to increase their workers salaries to the level of the union workers, the US government expects the big 3 to reduce their workers' salaries. Now that is the government of people for people and by people. How about asking the management class in these big 3 to cut their salaries to the level of their workers' salaries and then distribute the huge amount that is gained through that cut through the workers??? But no, of course, that is sacrilege. The only way to save the big 3 is to cut the meagre salaries of union workers.
