Listen up people, the demise of General Motors isn’t the unions fault. Got it? This is a bull$hit line being fed to us by the same a$$hats who shipped most of our jobs overseas, and who will continue to do so as long as they can get away with it. It was pi$$ poor decision making that killed GM, and Chrysler and yes the unions were part of that process but in the end it’s the guys who wear the biggest hats who should shoulder the blame.
The unions came into being as the only way to fight the robber barons of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Yes, they’re no as much of a problem as the robber barons they used to battle, but don’t delude yourself into thinking they’re the only problem in todays American manufacturing environment. Unions don’t decide to build factories in China, or to continue building gas guzzlers that nobody wants, or to use their collective power to quash alternatives to they products they want to offer.
GM’s management killed GM.
