At one time they were needed, but no longer. The free market and competition offer competitive pay. Government agencies manage safety and how pensions are managed. All the UAW does now is push the car manufacturers into agreements that cause the high cost per employee we are now seeing, which ultimately bring them down. We have seen that it is not the per hour cost that is the problem but the added cost for all the unrealistic programs, like having to pay employees to set in a room when their service is no longer needed. And another thing - let them hold out and not become part of the solution by conceding benefits costs, and instead continue to be the source of the problem until GM files chapter 11. Nothing wakes you up to the reality of not having a job like loosing a job! Especially when you could have done something to keep you in that job.
My scream is complete for now - thank you.

I'm sorry your being a little vague, most of our manufacturing has gone to China, do you really want to work for the wages chinese workers make? Thats an average $0 .22 per hour (twenty two cents per hour or $ 16.13 for a 70 hour work week). In order to compete with this, we all have to agree to work for twenty one cents an hour, no thanks. Also, when management screws up in China they don't get golden parachutes or bonuses, the Chinese government puts them to death. I could agree to that.
