UAW Discriminates in Parking Based on Political Affiliation and 'Foreign Automobiles'

The veteran would like to apologize to his associate, Mr. Smith, for the lateness of this post. Mr. Smith kindly contributed this news story yesterday.
United Auto Workers has recently ordered that Marines from reserve unit 1st Battalion, 24th Marine Regiment, based in Detroit, may not use the UAW parking lot if they drive foreign automobiles or display pro-Bush decals on their cars. While the veteran is ardently pro-labor, he finds this display of partisanship ignoble and crass. Until recently, Marine reservists have been allowed free access to the parking lot. Apparently, however, the union feels that certain Marines are showing a marked disrespect for their fellow Americans by driving the foreign-brand cars and displaying disrespect for organized labor by openly confirming their political affiliation with the neoconservatives. This veteran believes that the union might make a more acceptable judgement based on the fact that these Marines are members of a force that goes off to foreign countries to protect our homeland and our right to have organized labor, regardless of their political views or their desire for fuel-efficient foreign cars. It is truly unfair to extend this parking access to some, but deny it to others based on such biased reasoning.

As an Air Force Veteran I have to stand with you on this one. We both took an oath to protect our country from harm and were willing to put our lives on the line if nesecessary. We cannot stand and let fellow Americans do this to such an American Instuition such as the Marine Corps!
...See you next time! JNSMITH
