The blame needs to be shared with the UAW $70 / hr for putting the red nut on the blue screw. Not just the Manufacturers fault.
The Mfg’s signed the contracts...no one had a gun pointed at their heads...
It's the responsibility of the unions, like all unions, to get the best deal they can for their members...and no I'm not a “union thug” LOL...I've owned my own biz for 30 years, thank you.
