I suppose my deep seeded hatred of all unions and the very concept thereof does not center on GM... yes, they are obviously doing a lot wrong. My beef is that the entire north american auto industry is dieing because of the union tieing the hands of the decision-makers.

I was just discussing this with a co-worker on my break. His friend used to make rims for 14/h. CAW (canadian auto workers union) kicked in the door and upped his wages to 32/hr. Now he's unemployed. He knew he would lose hise job as soon as CAW began to talk to the company. Now those rims are made in mexico... PROFITABLY.
