It didn't help that GM has been buying out the boomers with full

responsibility here.



You righties seem to have no understanding whatsoever about the purpose of
a labor union. That purpose is to advocate for its members for better
wages, hours, working conditions and fringe benefits, and to protect its
members from the arbitrary decisions of management. Unions are not
responsible for the screw-ups of management.


Wait a minute. The labor unions have had a mighty strong negotiating
positions with
management for many years.

how? if management didnt like the deal, they shut down the plant and
move to a right to work state that the right wing has so thoughtfully
provided.

or they just wait out the strike then hire scabs, legal because of the
right wing

unions have no power at all. that's why they dont exist in this
country
