No kidding. Management should have shut it down years ago in favor of
opening a more profitable non-union plant. I guess it took 68 years of
"negotiations" with UAW to finally win concessions for closing the
place.

Please provide ANY evidence that the plat was kept open for 68 years
because of "negotiations with the UAW to finally win concession for
closing the place."

Yeah, that's it. The place was a big loser from day one, and GM would have
closed it right away except for the Union.

You don't think that hasn't happened? Why do you think GM won't close
plants that are less efficient and costly to run in favor of plants
somewhere else that are more efficient and less costly to run? Because the
Unions would strike if GM announced massive layoffs in a town that employs
thousands.

Remember our discussion about Boeing moving? And Boeing doesn't have the
union problems that GM does.
