i like the idea behind unions, but they have pretty much outlived their usefulness in some industries. When import makers build a car in north america they can do it for half the cost as a domestic can. or close enough to that. perhaps if the unions reorganized themselves they could find more money to pay the workers with, or reduce the unions fees which amounts to the same thing.

the big three need to reduce their production costs. if it isn't by paying workers less, it will be by paying less workers. unions tend not to understand that, at least thats my perception of it. The UAW (and CAW) work against the big three, not with. They don't try and make changes to help become more competitive. If they walk out on a plant, they should walk into the nearest honda or toyota plant, or talk the the government about setting up some fair trade laws. japan exports 2M cars to north america, give or take. They import 0. And the UAW and CAW wonder why they are losing their jobs and being asked to take pay cuts

im done now
