God, every time I hear someone whelping about union jobs, I want to retch. Seriously. Unions have done more to destroy the competitive backbone of this country than nearly any other force.
GM went to wrack and ruin because of the unions (and, yes, completely inept management).[/quote]
Really?
Toyota and VW and BMW pay almost equivalent wages within a couple of
points.
Toyota and Honda and Daimler ahve reputations for quality because
they have poured serious money into quality.
Sure those UAW guys are shitheads, but their managers were worse.
