Not to take away from poor management decisions (e.g., over-emphasizing high-margin vehicles such as trucks to the detriment of smaller platforms), but even when management tried to make operations more efficent the UAW refused.

It's been thus as long as I have been alive. This should make opening in some "right to work" state even more attractive.

Isn't it the responsibility of the board of directors to insure, first, company survival, then profit maximization? It's been the fate of so many unions to "require" their members into unemployment. It seems the UAW has had a longer run than most, but its time has come.

Their profligate ways are coming to an end.
