You don't think profit sharing as a good thing?

They should actaully be putting that towards paying the tax payer;IMO. Afterall the UAW is a owner and owes part of the debt.

As to the hourly wage earner bonuses, I believe this is an attempt to quell other union demands as all US auto companies near entering into contract negotiations with the UAW.

IIRC, salaried employees also got a comfortable raise.

GM plans to pay bonuses to most managers equal to 15 percent to 20 percent of their annual salary and as high as 50 percent to less than 1 percent of its 26,000 U.S. salaried employees, said one of the people, who asked not to be named revealing internal plans. Bonuses for Chrysler’s 10,755 salaried workers will average about $10,000, with a small group getting as much as half of their salary, one of the people said.

Still lovin' Obama's bailout with your tax dollars?

It's only good if you're an Obama supporting Goldman Sachs employee.

You have to actually make a profit to share it, if you owe someone $100 and you "make" $75 there's no profit to share.

If it wasn't our money, I wouldn't care.
Moral hazard of bailouts.

They can't. That's up to the government to sell their stock and realize the profit (yes... profit) we've made off the bailout.
