Unfortunately, the blue collar workers around here are so intent in increasing their
membership, they are pricing the parts their company makes so high that the companies
are losing business, and going out of business. It is difficult to compete with low
cost "off shore" businesses. The option is parts and products that nobody will be
able to afford.

I am not a UAW fan, with some of their ridiculous "demands". like new laptops and high
speed internet for all union members paid for by the company.

Total nonsense, Warren.
This dawg of yours won't ever hunt...
although very popular among folks that have
been schooled to believe such poppy-cock.

READ S-L-O-W-L-Y and deliberately, now....

The PRICE of vehicles is SET BY MARKET FORCES, never worker costs.
Regardless of worker demands or costs... GM would be derelict, by the
rules of capitalism, if they did not CHARGE ALL THE MARKET WOULD
BEAR. What they don't spend on workers is either put in the profit
column or in the pockets of management.

Most jobs lost to overseas are lost more to OSHA, EPA and
other government compliances than any worker attempting to
max out on the fortunes of his mega-billion dollar employer.

Case in point....
If the terminated shoe workers of the USA would work
for FREE, Nike still would not come back to the USA
when they can violate all standards of health and
humanity overseas by making $250 shoes for 75 cents.
