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.

Really? Always? When you're trying to feed your family, you take what you
can get. Unions historically serve the workers by negotiating in their best
interest. Usually, that's how it works. Sometimes union bosses are corrupt.
Sometimes management is reasonable. Sometimes not.
