We recently purchased an automobile. Criterion #1 was was that it not be produced in a plant where the workers were UAW.

I cannot always do so but when I can I avoid union products.

The Mazda CX-5 is a wonderful vehicle

The fears about getting a “Monday car” or a “Friday car” are valid about UAW-made vehicles (that they won’t be up to par): while unions accomplished a lot for American workers decades ago, those labor reforms have been codified in law - now they are just a racket that protects mediocrity (and in the case of public employees, strangles taxpayers & businesses).

Toyota makes great cars as well; more and more of them are made here (without unions).

I sure wish I could afford another non union vehicle. I bought a 2007 Chevy Tahoe, new. At 80,000 miles, the crankshaft failed and it had to have an engine rebuild that cost $7,000. the cars original price tag was $48,000, that should have been my first red flag.

I love my Tahoe, I have to drive it till it has 300,000 miles at this point, but I hate GM with a passion, with all the huge salary's those GM workers get they cannot make an engine that will last a half a million with no defective parts?

Next one will be built in a union free plant, anywhere in the world I don't care, no union workers building my next car.
