The artificial market rate. **** Poor management is the reason for those
egregious contracts. American car companies at the time had 80 or 90% of
the world market. Why worry about fiscal responsibility when you could
pass on the cost and produce crappy cars. Now the real market rate is
maybe 25% of the negotiated rate. My daughter bought a used Hyundai
station wagon a couple years ago. 100k warrantee, good car, 70% the price
of a comparable American car. Buy American? Not when it comes with a 42%
premium. For a car with less warrantee.

Please show us the data for the "real" market rate. Yes. ****-poor
management. I agree. Thus, unions came into being.


Good employees don't work for businesses and people they don't like.
They aren't forced to take a particular job. The unions serve to place
those who can't think for themselves.
