If the UAW was really interested in securing THEIR future, they would make the terms effective immediately. Why wait until 2010?
Perhaps the UAW is waiting to see if the the Big 3 can get a $25B loan. If the Big 3 succeeds in getting the loan, they will continue to wait until 2010 to reduce the wages.
......but, if the UAW sees that congress will not cough up the $$$$, then maybe the UAW will suck it in and make it effective immediately.
Who Knows!
