Yeah unions suck balls. Heck, they're the primary reason GM, Chyrstler, and Ford are in trouble now. These damnd spoil union workers. (sorry, going off on a tanget)
I kind of agree with you. The car maker unions are certainly a large part of the reason of the failure of those American car companies. The initial government bailout failed due to the unions not willing to take a pay cut. I'm assuming that is what you meant by the reason for their failure. But as to the causes leading up to this point, it was probably a combination of the lack of innovation and market foresight (picking SUVs over economy due to their higher markup and profit when it was obvious the trend was going towards compact fuel efficient cars) and the Union's lax attitude towards making a better product. When there is no fear of termination, quality in workmanship declines. If Toyota and Honda have no Unionized workers and they make a better product(according to sales) with lower wages and higher employee satisfaction and production, how could GM even compete profit wise?
Exactly. The big three put all their eggs in one basket in the suv and came out on the losing end. The union is probably the second biggest hurt they endured. I see i was down voted, thanks nerds i appreciate it
Sony's just released a 15.5-inch addition to its VAIO S Series that not only adds a crucial bit of extra display acreage, but also bumps things up to a full 1080p.

You're an idiot
Just like there's nothing wrong with Communism.

@ I'm not iEye
They should be protected only if they are really giving 110%.
If you think GM and AT&T are in the same situation maybe you should check their balance sheets first. Do the research or shut up!
