Stop bashing unions. The businesses want to turn you against them. The Car companies have made much money even as they pay union wages and benifits. They simply have gone out of their way to work with the big oil companies to support the sales of low mileage inefficient cars that keep Americans dependant on oil and the oil companies. They are working to keep big oil in business. They could produce cars that get better mileage, but they have fought it with every ounce of their being. They could be competitive but they prefer to rely on a product line that is vulnerable to the whims of oil companies, which puts us, in turn, at the whim of oil producing nations outside of our borders.
Remember, in the USA, you might not be a union member yourself, but it was unions that got the 40 hour work week for everyone, and breaks and vacation and sick leave a whole lot of other things that make your workplaces safer and more tolerable. Employers will gladly treat you all like shit when they get the chance to. Ha ha yes go ahead and let them convince you to get rid of the unions!
