You are correct. The union problem is not only at Auto's. It is pervasive in industry. It is the main reason why we have the "rust belt". Unions are as far away as you can get from free market capitalism. UAW for example is a monopoly. They have no competition where they rule. The government workers unions and teachers union are even worse. Unions were OK when labor laws did not protect workers and children. Now we have government agencies such as OSHA protecting workers. Unions should be abolished across the board.

And for that I am thankful...

Just this summer, my company put a newly hired employee on a stand up lift truck without providing any training for the young man...

The driver of the truck inadvertantly apparently, allowed one of his legs to stick out too far...

Ripped his leg off right there on the shop floor...

Big fines and massive training for all old and new lift truck drivers...Thanks to OSHA...
