Say it ain't so, Mr. King

Pity poor Bob King, president of the United Auto Workers (UAW). He recently spoke in favor of the Korean Free Trade Agreement claiming it was good for domestic automakers and their workers. The Economic Policy Institute estimates it will cost 159,000 domestic jobs over the next five years. King must be feeling a bit like another president whose taking a lot of flack from his leftist supporters. Jane Hamsher at Firedoglake and Huffington Post says its a bad trade - 800 jobs secured for the UAW, thousands lost for everyone else.
