It's the unions, particularly the UAW, that have crippled US manufacturing and provided the incentive to move manufacturing to places like China.
The UAW is the reason GM and Ford are about to implode.
I don't disagree with you about unions.
My dad was a shop steward, and even he says unions are too strong these days.
The link I provided has many, many businesses and many don't even HAVE unions.
Also, I LOVE the Chevy Malibu that I purchased last summer; got a good deal on it.
