this article is not completely accurate, but the part about how much the tax payer is losing comes from the government.  guess we can trust their numbers 

could have just given those folks who supposedly would have lost their jobs (not) a million or so dollars each and we'd have been much better off.

Yea but the UNIONS came out smelling like a Rose. And that's is the important thing cause they give millions to communist leaning candidits.

since you brought up unions, this has been going on in my backyard.  while they were having this most important dispute about who unplugs trucks, the work was not done, or was shifted to other ports.  the union members who were not working while all this went on, were still paid their full salary.

forgot to add...i have done this work.  it ain't rocket science.  when we have trucks dropped for us at our kitchens, one of us monitors the trucks and can plug and unplug them when the need arises.  i can't even believe that there is a special designation for this non-job.  wonder what it pays??

its only 25billion of our kids money whats the big deal? We can get those greedy rich people to pay it. Besides its not like GM built the company they didnt build GM government built the company so whats the big deal that the government now owns it. thats what my president told me so it must be true

the pay scale for union electricans will likely be in the $30 per hour range, plus benifits.  with enough seniority in the $50-$60 dollar range.  How many extention cords can you plug in and moniter for that?
