i just spent 3 years in detroit.
i was downtown in the rencen (gm hqtrs) almost daily. the number of folks i knew who worked for either gm or the unions was limitless - all one big, dysfunctional, unhappy family. and i'm here to tell you that the unions have the big 3 by the balls. union workers were actually paid full salaries to show up at work and nap or play cards or go online and play the stock markets... i have no sympathy for the unions. they ruined the u.s. auto industry, imho. and i have no sympathy for the big 3 either... if gm is stupid enough to offer lifetime healthcare for workers and continue to fund it's notorious jobs bank - where their unemployed go to collect as much as 85% of their wages for up to 4 years - then they deserve bankruptcy. i now live in the south where non-union auto workers for bmw, toyota, hundyai, kia and nissan are all having a very merry christmas! detroit sucks. burn it to the ground!
