Maybe if they built a better product or got better reviews because for the last number of years it's been cool to lambaste N. American cars and from my experience it isn't called for. If we continue to buy only foreign goods, we deserve it when our economy goes in the tank.
Sometimes in life we have to hold our noses and ante up and this bail out is one of those times. |
The only 'reasonable' concession for a union to make is to "F off" entirely and stop distorting the labor market prices. That being said, it isn't really anything the unions have done in the recent past that has screwed over the big 3. It was the gold plated pensions that were never funded properly back in the day (Largely attributable to Unionization). It's been a constant cloud over them for 20-30 years.
