People don't buy domestic cars because of their poor reliability. The most reliable domestic vehicles are the ones that are built in Mexico... hmmm... why is that? Oh yeah, they have no unions and the Mexican workers love their job and take pride in what they do.
The union workers on the other hand are lazy slobs who don't care about the company they work for. They just go to work each day and do just the minimum that is required of them. For example, if a person's job is putting on the steering wheel and they see a screw loose on the door, they are told be union leaders that they should just ignore it because their job is to just put on the steering wheel, nothing else.
Chrysler wanted to implement a new process that would allow any worker on the assembly line to put a stop to all work if they see anything wrong. This is what is in place at the Japanese plants. The Union voted that down.
Chrysler also wanted to put in new robots and model their plants after the Honda plants. This would drastically improve the quality and reliability of the vehicles and help the company sell more cars. The union also said no to this as some workers would have to be let go.
Sure sounds like the union cares about the success of the company.
