Why weren't they doing what these other companies doing?

They can start by declaring bankruptcy, or another alternative is to sell the company to a new owner, the new owner then has the option to fire all the people and rehire the ones and numbers they want. They(sometimes)have to take the Union but they are free to negotiate wages etc. all over again. I went through this once and the company I worked for was more streamlined(in some ways)after the sale. Bankruptcy however is the best bet for getting rid of the Union.

With the mess they are in now, I say when the current contract expires, don't renew or negotiate a new one. Simply lock the doors, fire every union member and then hire new workers. Train them and reopen the plants as non-union shops. It seemed to work ok for Reagan when he busted PATCO.

How do they de-unionize the Big Three plants? Chapter 11. Life goes on but union contracts are on the table and can be voided. It would help to make Michigan a Right-To-Work state at the same time.
