Unions have been losing membership for years. They only represent about 9% of the work force, anymore.

My company, a tier one supplier to the big 3 has a plant in Shelbyville Ky and on Feb. 7 they walked out on strike. My company was prepared to battle it out but a day later the powers that be at Ford, who that particular plant supplies, stepped in and said settle the strike no matter what. They were not going to allow our strike to slow down or stop their assemply at their plant that we supplied. Given the state of my company at this point in time, the idiots working at our Shelbyville plant just signed their own layoff slips. They may be patting themselves on their backs for their "victory" but I can guarantee you that 5 years from now they will be singing the unemployment blues.

The big 3 are the top dogs and the UAW is pulling their strings. As long as the imports choose to set up shop here and keep the unions out, the days of the big 3 are numbered......... Go Toyota!
