Why, hell yes. Because the freaking unions have decimated the American automobile industry. These companies are both in horrible financial condition as a result of massive payments they have to make for essentially unskilled laborers. And that's BEFORE the billions spent on their healthcare.

The American auto industry has become totally uncompetitive as a result of the damned unions. You can't build enough Silverado trucks to pay the healthcare of every GM employee.


Sure, American car makers are burdened with legacy costs, but to blame unions for all of their problems is to deny the failure of management to bring these companies in the forefront of technology and quality. Detroit has consistently designed inferior cars, and built lesser quality in them.

The American consumer has choices and is not stupid.
