it was corporate america's attitude that destroyed GM, not the UAW.

What was GM's largest financial liability?

Just a wild ass guess. LABOR


nope. less than 10% of the vehicle's price

but, of course, that's what the right whine WOULD guess


You are right that the average labor cost in a GM car is about $1600
but the burden is the additional obligations to retirees that adds
another $2000 to that car.


which in other countries, is picked up by the govt.

our govt is engaged in a race to the bottom. cut wages, cut benefits,
no vacation.

americans work harder and longer than any other industrialzed country
