Given the anti-union government we've had for the last several years and the anti-union sentiment engendered by the auto industry, perhaps it's time for unions to have a resurgence in this country.
To accomplish what? What is the hourly wage+benefit to tighten wheel lugs?
It's about companies that have a record of making huge profits on slave wages. Companies that make millions in profits.
American auto makers are not losing because their cars are priced higher; they are losing because their technology, quality, and design is not what the public wants, expects, or needs.
And aren't some of the "foreign" cars that are pushing the big 3 into extinction assembled here by union workers, and don't some of them rank among the highest in terms of US-made components by percentage?
