“Just bought a new car, and Chrysler and GM weren’t even considered, owing to their ownership. Everyone should give pause to any vehicle produced by the UAW, as they have shown they are willing accomplices to the socialization of Amerika.”

Agree - I simply BOYCOTT any union built car (as have been the case for 7 cars now). I don’t care where they’re built, but I WILL NOT buy a car from workers who HATE their company, because it keeps ‘screwing them over’ (in their brainwashed eyes).

I find it funny how union-built cars from American companies turn out to be lemons and POS-mobiles. Which then lead many to conclude that all union-built cars are POS-mobiles.

Yet, then go and buy an Asian or European car... built by union-workers, and be perfectly happy with it.

(If you buy a car that was made in South Korea, Japan, or Germany... it was made by union-workers.)

The 2 biggest problems with US unions are:

1. Management that will not, under any circumstances, stand up to them.

2. Lack of competition. The UAW is the only autoworker union in America, so it holds a monopoly on the organized autoworker labor market. If we broke up their monopoly on organized labor, we'd have multiple unions competing for customers, ie: auto companies. And they'd either cut their prices to complete the transaction... or provide a better product, ie: more highly skilled workers.
