From TPM Reader RH in Michigan ...

The issue of the bonuses to AIGFP is tailor made for Ron Gettelfinger to contrast the treatment of Labor and Capital in this crisis. He should be out front and center explaining how many UAW households had to give back wages to make up that $165,000,000 that went to AIGFP in bonuses. This is a battle for workers that I long to see but Labor just doesn't seem to be able to bring it. Humanize this issue to win it.
