If you are waiting for a union to "adapt" to anything besides showing more of their pinko/socialist basis for their existence, you'll be waiting a long time.
I love American cars, but if it requires the deaths of the "Big Two" American manufacturers to bust the UAW, so be it. If the workers hadn't been abused in the early days of the industry, and if the unions had not used their political leverage to eliminate Right to Work Laws, we wouldn't be in this mess. Of course, a HS dropout would have no chance of making $125K/year tightening a bolt repeatedly, but.....
So that was my mistake. I kept going to college to get a Ph.D. and I still don't make that much money...
