[QUOTE="Chnandler Bong, post: 445450, member: 6846"] I like how all of this seems to be caused by the fact the Big 3 employ a unionized workforce. Could it possibly be bacause of the ineptness of the management at the Big 3? Did the Union members have any say in the product line choices made by management? Or product design? The foreign companies chose to make fuel efficiency, safety, and reliability higher priorities than the Big 3. All they wanted to concentrate on was bigger, more powerful (gas guzzlers) because they offered greater markups and profitability. And long lasting, reliable vehicles don't need to be replaced as often. Why would they want that? The absence of a Unionized workforce would have only enabled Big 3 management to award themselves with even more absurd bonuses than they already receive. And they still would have been in this position because they chose to make inferior products that aren't in demand the way they anticipated. I am fed up with management at all companies acting like they deserve to make tens of millions of dollars and complain about employees making 75-80 grand a year. The wage gaps between those at the top and those actually doing the work is growing out of control. This is precisely why we need Unions to stay strong and viable. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
