I do think Ford and GM would be better off, as would their workers, if
good foreign management took over there, management from Japan or Korea.
with buyouts for the current organized employees, and a new unionized
deal for new hires, with a quality "national" health care plan so the
employers aren't burdened with that.

I have no faith in U.S. corporate management and its B-school mentality.


Overall, I agree. I am not sure that fresh, innovative management cannot
be found here in the US, but I won't argue the need to get away from
traditional business and MBA concepts.

I also believe in and respect the concept of a contract. The current
organized employees need to be considered and fairly treated. However,
contracts, by design, can be renegotiated, particularly in troubled times
when absolute adherence to them puts the whole operation at risk.

I couldn't agree more that businesses should not be the administrators of
health plans.

I haven't seen the numbers, but I wonder what American corporations would
have to do if they were required to fund their pension liabilities.


I don't know because I am not very familiar with corporations with pension
plans.
Most small businesses (that employs the most people) typically don't have
pension plans.
They may have 401k's and/or similar and may make some form of matching
contributions, along with matching contributions to SS benefits. That's
about it, and that's how the majority of people plan for retirement.

Ahhh 401k's.... Too bad about those.
