But you have to have a standard of reasonableness there. We do work in a global environment and what we don't want to do is handicap our auto industry. I mean, I think asking for 40% raises and holding car companies hostage, asking for 40 hours and pay for 32 hours work and asking for pensions, which is what bankrupted these car companies in the first place, is not a reasonable expectation. But I think we should come together, work together to say, hey, we all want the same thing. And Henry Ford did it right. (16:55–17:10)

CLAIM

Asserts that demands for 40% raises, reduced work hours for full pay, and pensions are unreasonable and previously bankrupted car companies.
