Maybe, just maybe the laid off auto workers will learn that blindly following the union rule and voting for Democrats just does not work.
Unions are not the problem. Half of cars still made in the USA are built by NON UNION workers. The war on labor is over. Move on.
The auto plants assemble, it's the small non union manufacturing companies who supply the parts.....
When the recession hit under the Carter years, here in metro Detroit tons of tool and die shops and small parts manufacturers went out of business. A friend of mine lost his and the father of a gal I knew lost his tool and die shop too....
FWIW, these shops were great for entry level kids getting into the skilled trades and ultimately gaining enough work experience to qualify for journeymen's cards that would get them into the Big Three companies....
