We Appreciate Your Sacrifice (as long as your views don't differ from ours)

That's the message that the UAW is putting forth these days. For some time now, the UAW has been allowing US Marines free parking at its Solidarity House in Detroit. Recently however, some Marines are being turned away. . .

A spokesman for the UAW released a statement to Action News which reads:

"While reservists certainly have the right to drive non-union made vehicles and display bumper stickers touting the most anti-worker, anti-union president since the 1920s, that doesn’t mean they have the right to park in a lot owned by members of the UAW."

I guess that in the eyes of the UAW, their military service bears no more or less weight than their political affiliation or car brand choice. This sort of infantile behavior is counterproductive.
