GM recalled over 850,000 vehicles tell me again why we need Unions?

Question

they put out junk at a higher price

Answer 1

One has to be honest  to oneself with the fact: American Auto industry is almost dead thanks to both Union and those so-called "American management". If you do not believe this, look around and explain why Toyota, Honda, Kia, NIssan, ...every foreign car company  in this country has been doing better than bit two + little Chrysler. They do not have Union, they will definitely not hire any American manager from US auto company.    

Answer 2

So people can make a decent wage and not be taken advantage of by large companies... makes since to me.

Answer 3

GM puts out junk at a high price? Or the unions put out junk at a high price?

I've seen lots of GM cars, I have yet to see a UAW car.  And if you think the cars are junk now, wait until the Chinese are building them all at $1/hr.

Answer 4

The union workers are on the assembly line.  The engineers, who are not union, design the cars.  This a design problem.

Answer 5

So you feel that lower paid workers would build a better product? Interesting idea. China has non union workers, how are their products?

Lead paint on toys.

Poison pet food.

Poor quality junk that falls apart.

Cheap imitations of American designed products.
