Actually, it was the insurance companies that soaked the Big 3 US car companies. I am not going to blame unions for negotiating insurance for their working members. Insurance companies are the problem, not unions, although it seems right-wingers only have about five or six sentences memorized to squawk in response to certain topics. Blaming unions is one of them. How tiresome. It is true that union representatives have a responsibility to their membership to get the best deal for the members they can. So, I don't blame the unions, either, for doing just that -- although, one would think that union management would see that it is in their own interests not to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. I guess not though. But ultimately, the unions have caused the demise of the American auto industry. This is clear if one just pays a tiny bit of attention. And before we provide a nickel of bailout money the union stranglehold ought to be broken. This isn't about left- or right-wing ideology. All a person has to do is to look at the numbers and it becomes blatantly obvious.
