Killing the unions might be the most productive thing you can do. And i say that not as someone without admiration for the american worker and some of the things unions have accomplished. The model in the auto industry failed in the face of foreign competition. I suspect that for the US to be competitive again, union model wont work much in any industry. Worlwide competition too strong so if we want to play we will need lower wages plus govt help where necessary in industries considered critical. . I see nothing inherently evil with $49/hour wage rate in autos that the japanese use successfully. What do the euros do when building cars in-country? Do they have unions? If so, is it that their unions are less aggressive or that they make higher end cars. Anyone know??
