      American Axle Strike: Unions Continue to Kill U.S. Manufacturing
      I usually don't comment on this stuff since it all seems to be an opinion someone has or not.

      #1 Unions are like the biggest thing to bring democracy to the common worker - nothing else does so to put a common worker on par with management.

      #2 yes some companies understand (in particular IT companies) that their company is the employees so unions are less needed. This however doesn't apply to ALL BUSINESSES.

      #3 Okay - $70 an hour is not that high of a wage when you include all benefits - health care, social security, other insurances, vacation, sick time, etc which are normally counted in the figure quoted.

      #4 Hmmm...despite all the complaints - the company still made $37MM? Where is the complaint here.

      #5 Greed is certainly out of control in this country - CEO and sports figure salaries far out pace anything anyone is is making but gee - the economy is still driven entirely by the consumer so it seems that $70 per hour isn't so bad any more now is it?
