Yup...too bad unions sucked the blood right out of American industrial might by protecting substandard work performance, assinine wages and benefits and indifference to the country.

Let's not forget...as recently as late 2008 when they refused to make reasonable concessions (delaying increases with no actual cut in pay) or invalidate the provisions requiring continuation of pay after a layoff. This led directly to the failures of GM and Chrysler, and the expanded subindustries, and resulted in millions more being laid off from their jobs. So the rest of us have to pay the UAW via bailouts.

They are a cancer upon this nation.
