DETROIT -- The United Auto Workers union waved a white flag Monday in its parking skirmish with neighboring reservists, but the 1st Battalion, 24th Marines are not accepting surrender.

Facing intense criticism, UAW President Ron Gettelfinger reversed his decision to ban Marine Corps reservists driving foreign cars or displaying pro-President Bush bumper stickers from parking at the union's Solidarity House headquarters in Detroit.

"I made the wrong call on the parking issue, and I have notified the Marine Corps that all reservists are welcome to park at Solidarity House as they have for the past 10 years," Gettelfinger said in a statement.

Wounded by what they consider an unpatriotic ambush, the Marines rejected the union's olive branch and secured an alternative parking lot.

Hmmm... UAW President Ron Gettelfinger is obviously an ultra melon.

They're definately pro-Democrat, at least policy-wise, and they're anti foreign made cars as they should be.

Definately a bad PR move tho.

The labor unions are overwhelmingly in the democratic camp.

It seems that the UAW isn't anti-foreign. They're against  nonunion-made vehicle manufacturers.

The whole foreign versus domestic car thing is just ridiculous. That line is so blurry now it's practically pointless.

That's funny about the union label and crap on cars. The last 2 "American" vehicles I bought had interesting stickers on them. One was mande in Canada the other hechp en Mexico. Go figure and I see A toyota, Honda and other "non American" brand cars made in the USA. Now who the heck should we support, the brands outsourcing manufacturing or the ones INSOURCING manufacturing into the US?

I buy what I want, not what some hack tries to tell me to buy.

They hate competition.


They also probably embraced the notion of planned obsolescence. Unfortunately, the Japanese companies didn't play along.

There's liberal or conservative, democrat or republican.

There are no shades of gray. It's a black and white world. ;)
