Around here the unions had a reason to exist in the 60s. Laws protecting workers rights changed since then and they are really not needed anymore. Nowadays they tip the balance of powers to their side way to much. You give them an inch, they'll want to take a foot. I don't think it is normal an hs dropout makes an higher salary working on an assembly line than a college graduate. Anyway, that's just my opinion.

If the net balance of the auto industry in the US is not profitable, I say let them die. Someone better adapted to the environment will come to fill the void.
