Sorry but many here have very naive, schoolboy views of big business.
If you think the only reason Toyota is more successful is unions, or even efficiency, you live in dreamland. Through protectionist policies the Japanese taxpayers have been subsidizing them for years.
Renault is being tipped to buy Ford or GM should it be available for pennies. Are you kidding me?? It isn't like labor laws are weak in France. Renault by the way also owns a controlling interest in Nissan, Samsung Motors, Dacia... guess the few millions their government spent bailing them out 20 years ago wasn't so badly spent.
How about Boeing? You want to let them fail too? Without being indirectly subsidized by the government they would be toast against an EU sponsored Airbus.
Ideally it shouldn't happen but it does, much like xsells. Free market enterprise works when it is a level playing field. You can't keep repeating a doctrine (a mistake commies usually make) without looking at the real world.
