[QUOTE="Michael Cacioppo, post: 528691, member: 57235"] American auto makers sold their future and now they are paying. The burden on each auto produced is too high. Health care alone attributes to $1500 per car! In the past auto makers agreed on union contracts that are now showing their true cost. When you have a monopoly on labor (United Auto Workers) this is bound to happen. I say monopoly because the big three all have the same union workers. The union could decide who among the three they would strike to get better benefits and pay. The struck company was at a tremendous disadvantage since the other two were still making and selling cars, the stuck company had to cave in. Remember it was, and still is, illegal for the auto makers to unit collectively and hold their ground against the union. No foreign auto manufacturer, to my knowledge, has this burden. We need more robotics in the factories. IMHO [/QUOTE]
