You righties seem to have no understanding whatsoever about the purpose
of a labor union.
I know all about unions, remember my mom worked for the Teamster's
international for 20 years.
Unfortunately the UAW and the big 3 management companies were all
creating an unsustainable bubble in what they were giving the
employees. It wasn't about "fair" or "enough", it was always about
"more".
They simply jacked up the prices of the cars, everybody was making a
lot of money and we paid it.
That bubble popped.

But but. My whole life is invested in unions. My pension, My health
insurance, My dear sweet wifes job. My writing career. If my union goes
tits up I'm sunk.
