Here in Kentucky we have two Ford plants, one GM plant and a Toyota plant, as well as Toyota's North American Headquarters. Not only the assembly plants but countless suppliers, transporters, and logistics providers earn a living here as well. By voting against helping the industry, McConnell and Bunning once again show how they are partisan politics vs. the citizens of Kentucky. They want to kill the UAW and scapegoat them, and let the economy suffer to prove their point.
Did you know that both union and nonunion plants use a lot of the same suppliers? Same logistics companies? Same dealer networks? To let the UAW plants die will affect everyone, not just the Big Three. Are the two Kentucky senators ready to kill Ford, GM, and also severely wound vendors like Tower Automotive, Ryder, Penske, UPS? Did you know that GM pays $7 billion dollars a month to its vendors? I would hate to see that go away.
Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning need to get their heads out of their asses and look out for the best interests of the citizens of this state.
