One thing you have to give unions credit for though. They are really good at coercing governments to defend their industry, or to refrain from attacking it. When you see what Stelmach idiocy has done to the Oilpatch, and what it threatens to do to the toothless healthcare sector... you really pine for an effective lobby group like the CAW.
On the other hand, its going to be funny as hell watching the lunatics (Unions and Governments) run the asylums (GM & Chrysler). I wonder if the CAW/UAW are going to have the guts to get efficient when its their own money on the line.
