 Bob would say that the UAW took cuts in pay and benefits 
 while management was still getting bonuses, even though 
 the company was losing money.
 
 Bob would ask, why is making  sacrifice only expected 
 of the workers on the line and not company wide, management 
 included?
 
 Bob would ask, why should management get performance 
 bonuses when the company has done so badly that it 
 must reduce its workforce by a third?
 
 Finally, Bob would ask, what the troubles at Ford mean 
 for the "strong" economy?
