As far as car companies, you're entitled to your opinion. I'll take Chrysler over Toyota, myself.

But it doesn't mean the non-union workers are "better." You have not made a serious, objectively measurable, argument. There are costs to non-union labor too, health costs, what have you. Granted the union will likely be higher. What has that got to do with anything, though? You are just johnny-one-note anti-union bashers. And you apparently could care less about AMERICA.

I never said non union workers were better than union workers. I don't think a Union worker is any better than non union worker. On the other hand, there is nothing that makes a union worker better than non-union and yet they get a higher salary simply based on their ability to shut down a plan and demand more pay. When I was 18 I found a job doing manual labor on a construction site. The job foreman told me I needed two things, a pair of boots and a union card. I got the boots but when I went to the union office I was laughed out of there. There was a roomful of union workers sitting around waiting for jobs, and I was told they would get preference for any job since they had seniority. I never got that job. I am anti union, of that there is no doubt. I have seen our schools decay remarkeably since the advent of the National Education Association which fights any effort to pass voucher legislation simply to protect their own jobs. The list of Union efforts to undermine progress in this country is endless. The only place Unions can maintain their power anymore is in the government sector since they can get the Dems to cowtow to them in order to get their money and support. In the private sector they are an outdated, useless institution.
