Default RE: Car Companies

Nice story. I found myself laughing despite the truth in the story. Is Toyota a unionized plant. I know that they built a plant in Tennesee and have wondered if it was union. Chrysler has really not had such a bad quarter. But with the retirees paid medical and their age, it has hit them pretty hard in the pocket book. The new Challenger being built in Canada because they have socialized medical might be a way for them to shave off some of the cost to their employees. Its time for the Unions to rethink their position, before economics ends any chance at a come back. I live in the south and have no experience with unions. I think I do all right and am glad that I don't have to answer to a union. To those that have worked or do work for unions, do you think the time has come to cut them free or do you still see a need for unions? Just wondering. I hope we don't send more of our jobs off to another country because of cost we may incur in the future. Are we chasing our jobs away?
