You bring up another failing car company, Tesla Motors is closing their Michigan facility.
I would have to disagree with the statements about the UAW being needed. I would rather see a company cut half of its employees and survive so those 50% can still have a job than see a company TRY to cut half its work force have the Union strike and kill the whole company. Yeah it sucks for those people who are out a job but it is overall better because more people stay employed. I almost blame the unions for the problems that the companies have been having. Its not all their fault but a good deal of the damage was done when the unions wanted more and didnt realize that the companies couldnt give them that. Granted, I dont work for these companies and this is just my personal observations.
