This is a standard activity any time a sale like this goes through. I have never been involved in the sale or purchase of an oil refinery where it did not take place.

And if you think this meeting was out of control... At least no one wound up in the Emergency Room. That still happens, too.
Your missing the point still, the UAW leadership is part of the management team now, the UAW is a stockholder in the new GM! They are in the position of negotiating with and against their own membership!
