What union is looking for a handout? I've heard lots of CEOs whining for

If Ford, GM and Chrysler go bankrupt then the unions are all SOL and the

right to work states and screw the unions all together.

"The Rise and Fall of the American Automobile Industry

..... from Henry Ford, then Unions and finally China".

Fifteen years ago I had a Mercury Tracer. A Mazda, made in Mexico.
Great little car.
