Way back over a century ago - Unions despite the corruption even then) did a service to workers. Many reasonable safety conditions, work environments, and reasonable labor practices came about... but as the unions rapidly gained power - and influence on a political stage, as union bosses became extremely wealthy without a bit of their own sweat labor invested - they became nothing more than political entities using workers as pawns for their own pocketbooks... and then for political agendas far outside the industries they supposedly represented.

Now - the unions have literally bankrupted every US carmaker - and have helped push this nation ever closer to a socialist hellhole...

What’s crazy: “Union Made” at one time kind of meant at least a little. But the climax of that label - was when US Automakers had become the total laughing stock of the world - only surpassed in quality failures by the Soviet Block (Russia/Yougoslavia).

I believe in buying American, but I won't fault anyone who refuses to buy a UAW made vehicle. If that means buying foreign because all of the US plants have chosen to align with the UAW, then so be it.
