Well, unions ARE a huge part of why the auto industry is failing. It's the reason why Delphi went under. Their whole idea revolved around this idea that they could rip up the UAW contract if they went into bankruptcy, so that's exactly what they did. However, Delphi has never been able to pull OUT of bankruptcy.

Unions inherently create an inefficiency in the workforce. If some new guy starts on the factory line, wants to impress his boss, so he works extra hard and pumps out a few more units than most others, he WILL be approached by other union workers and tell him to cut it out.
