Tell me just out of curiosity - what model car do you drive? How
about your wife?
Why do you ask? I don't fault the UAW or organized workers for the
crappiness of some of the cars US producers turn out.
Just curious.
It's a Toyota. Really.

That's what I thought.

Made down South with non-Union labor.

Do as I say - not as I do.

Typical. He wants to save a company from which he won't buy a car
because of quality issues which is built by the very same Union
members he says are so important to the US. Instead he buys a car
from a foreign company built in the US by non-Union labor.

Now is that tortured thinking or what?

The quality issues have nothing to do with the workers who build the
car, and everything to do with corporate management. Besides, you are
assuming there is but one vehicle. There are others. The Toyota has
100,000+ miles and is only used to tow the boat. At least *one* of the
others is built with UAW labor.
