I'm not here to bash the unions but the contracts they came up with, wages, inability to get rid of dead weight/workers who don't produce, pay beyond the job, health care, retirements, overly high salaries to top execs. In my opinion has all led to the problems the American automakers woes. When a company's running in the red and your top execs clear way over a million dollars somethings wrong. I think your pay should be based on your job performance on salary employees. Look at what Lee Iaccoca made when he took over Chrysler during their bailout. Nothing until they turned a profit. Unions were good but now I think in allot of cases their looking out for their top brass also. We need to study what the Japanese and how they are doing things and work on the global economy not the USA economy. What worked here 20 years ago is not going to work now. Heck what went 5 years ago is now obsolete. Were the greatest nation in the world and we need to reestablish ourselves as that. I think environmental issues have also led to allot of our problems. There is a happy medium and we need to find that spot and run with it.
