Boeing Heading the Way of GM?

GM and Ford were not torched by their unions but by their management who rested on their predecessor's laurels and refused to innovate and refused to compete with the Japanese automakers. Boeing on the other hand, with the input of it's mechanics and engineers has continued to improvise and to maintain itself globally as the lead designer and builder of commercial aircraft. To compare these companies is to compare apples to oranges. The inevitable and well deserved demise of GM and Ford is the result of bad management and not the result of any union activity.
