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...

The best recipe for success is for the Big Three to fire about 15,000 auto-workers who are currently in the "Jobs Bank", where they continue to get paid after they have been laid-off. The Jobs Bank at the Big Three costs around $1.4 billion to $2 billion a year. All that money could go to innovation, new products, and maybe even up the quality of their cars.

Has there ever been a Canadian automobile company? I mean, some inventor who put together a car company. Like Dodge, Olds, Chryster, Packard, etc.

Once these unionists lose their jobs, it will be a truely blue ping.
