But why don't you ask the question why? The UAW has a lot of influence over who the managers are. They want guys who are easy to deal with. And that means they don't want the smartest knives in the drawer.

No... I honestly think you're barking up the wrong tree. I don't think the UAW had anything to do with the fact that there are at least 4 or 5 versions of the Chevrolet Trailblazer rolling around. Do we really need that many? Couldn't they just as easily, and much more cheaply, sell two?

Like I said, the UAW wants management that they can control. They don't care if it's good or bad, so long as they can control it. And that generally means it'll be bad.

I also point out to you that the UAW is big on forcing unnecessary workers onto management. And then management figures, "Well, we don't need this many workers, and we can't sell enough Trailblazers to keep them busy, so let's create a new kind of Trailblazer, and maybe we can sell a few more of them."
