This alone seriously affects America's ability to compete in the world markets.
Previous posts about forien car companies building here and paying way less for thier labor because they are non union..... well thier cars cost us the same as if they were built by union workers. They just make more profit to send back home.
I am not a union worker and I have nothing to do with the auto industry. But if america continues to export every job that pays a meaningful wage overseas the issues we have here today with our economy will only get worse.
Before anyone is critical about china's ability to build anything ask yourself this, Just how many 8 year olds in america could assemble a car?
This was just plain hard to read. And you spelled 'Camaro' wrong..
