There's a difference between a favorable labor contract and sustainable labor conditions. This contract is temporary, and it is limited. It doesn't address the fact that Detroit plays under an entirely different set of rules than all the foreign brands operating in the US. The union will always ask for benefits above what the market will give. If they don't, then what is the point of the union? Until Detroit is free of the unions, they simply can't be long term competitive and sustainable, in my opinion. I agree with Romney here, and I would have liked to have seen him win the nomination.
