Last night, sixteen auto workers from Detroit packed into four cars (American-made, of course) and drove to Washington, where they met up with colleagues from four other states this morning to urge Congress to pass a bill to bailout the auto industry.

Speaking on Capitol Hill, active and retired union leaders voiced frustration that they were being asked to make concessions when Wall Street firms and banks were bailed out without preconditions.

I’ll have a full piece this afternoon on the auto workers’ take on the debate over the bailout. Stay tuned.

Japanese Auto Industry is also facing similar problems faced by the American auto industry, and the talks are already on here in Japan for merging the auto companies into big 3 as in the United States.

The government should also pass the bailout to car manufacturers, I think it's not fair for them not to have one… and the government should this of this in order for them to survive the crisis that they were facing right now…
