    They crippled the american auto industry with their greed, and now the Greenbriar is in danger of becoming extinct. It’s hard to belive even union blockheads don’t have enough sense not to kill the golden goose. This is West Virginia, not exactly a hotbed of jobs and economic development. Greenbriar provides 1,600 jobs. But suddenly, the union is dis-satisfied and as they usually do, it failed to bargain and resolve issues IN ADVANCE. It would be unfortunate if this is a death blow to Greenbriar, but it would serve the union and it’s members well to have to deal with the fact they killed decent jobs. In this economy, it’s not the time to get greedy.

    While profiting from the downfall of another is wrong, and I generally don’t like to do it myself, I think that this i an extraordinary example of good old American capitalism, which I support wholeheartedly.
