“Is driving GM out of business really the best outcome for the nation? It seems to me that some sore of activity to move the entity back to the model of American values we support, would be better.”
Thanks, but no. The only practical way to wipe out the UAW, at this point, is to simply let the unions have their victory, and bring down GM (and the others). At that point, the pieces can be picked up by non-union operations in this country and overseas, while, hopefully, new domestic (non-union) manufacturers take hold. That’s exactly what happened in retail, and it’s much, much, more efficient now.
Thanks for your response BobL. I’m not convinced you are wrong here. I don’t like seeing old brands wiped off the map. Unfortunately in this instance, the damage has been done, and the outcome is slowly playing out as it should.
I’m not trying to give you a dig here, but I wonder how many non-union jobs will disappear if GM goes down. I wouldn’t be surprised if from suppliers to sales, we’re talking far more than the number of those who are actually employed at GM.
Take care.
