9. "If they think I'm going to take a wage cut and pay more for health care, they're dreaming."
From the New York Daily News:

...Workers at GM's plant in Janesville, Wis., started picketing outside the massive facility shortly after 11 a.m. EDT, halting work on assembly lines that build large sport-utility vehicles such as the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban.

"If they think I'm going to take a wage cut and pay more for health care, they're dreaming," said Dave Van fossen, a 48-year-old worker at the facility.

"My utilities just went up 14% and everything else is going up. Why would I accept a pay cut?"
