Profitability is something the Union does not care about. I would imagine they prefer some corporate turbulence to a smooth operation as it gives them leverage to negotiate with. But it seems lately that the union’s are running out of rope in manufacturing. This is evidenced by the AFL-CIO shifting its focus of extortion from the manufacturing sector to the service sector (Janitorial services, etc.). I had read somewhere that some faction tried to start up an IT Union to keep IT work in the US.

Someone asked if the Union and Employees would buy it and run it. The answer was no, we just build ‘em. We would have to give up too much in wages and benefits. It just might be time for the auto industry to pull a reagan on ‘em, and just disband the union, like the air traffic controllers...

LOL.

So true. The unions were, and arguably still are, necessary to protect workers. However, most unions are now nothing but economic “suicide pacts” that will end up costing more American jobs than they save. When American auto companies were fluch with cash and had the market cornered, they could agree to any demand, no matter how outrageous.

Oh, and let’s not forget that the management at the Big Three have consistently put out cr@p year after year.
