No discussion about union workers earning too much money would be complete without a comment about the ridiculous salaries and bonues handed out to the worthless incompetent management types that ran their business into the ground. As always in America, there’s plenty of blame to go around.
Certainly, management decisions hurt many of the large manufacturers and I’m no fan of outrageous executive pay...but...what put Chrysler and GM out of business were high wages and crushing legacy costs for healthcare and pensions.
That is the unions’ fault, and ultimately the union member’s.
