It is the unions fault. American companies survive despite the unions (and there are fewer every year). The automakers were forced into those bad deals, by not being able to hire people that would be willing to work for much less compensation. Do other companies hire the most expensive workers? How could you compete if you have to pay twice what your competitor pays? And what if the government restricted your company from hiring anyone you want, and said you can only hire people from one select group, which happens to demand higher pay regardless of performance?
