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.
Correct. The auto makers did much of the damage themselves.

As a result of union activism over the years, sufficient Federal Laws exist that very adequately ‘protect’ workers. The ‘union shop’ is way out-of-date. If any employee has a problem with virtually anything on the job, they can run down to the local State or Fed office of whatever-department and ‘report’ it, causing a chain of events to occur that handily ‘takes care of’ the offending employer.
