Jim - Facts are easy to come by. But it's even easier to wing it.

Speaking of winging it, what makes you think that Texaco went
bankrupt? They merged with Chevron in 2001, very succesful at the
time of the merger, still successful as a merged entity today.


Go argue with the Wall Street Journal, wiki, etc.
That's where the chart is from.
Next you'll be claiming GM and Chrysler didn't go bankrupt either.
FYI, Chapter 11 is bankruptcy.
You don't get to make up your own bankruptcy rules on rec.boats.
Speaking of Dodge, nice one avoiding answering why so many non-union
companies go bankrupt.
I'd do the same - if I was prone to dodging and cherry picking.
I'm not.
So I'll just assume you didn't answer because you can't blame a union.
That's clear enough.

Jim - Done here.
