I also agree that labor (the UAW) is not the problem. I believe Chrysler has a revenue problem (not enough people want to buy enough Chryslers at high enough prices) not a cost problem. Is there anyone in the USA who dreams of acquiring a Nitro, if only it were $400 cheaper? I don't think so. REMEMBER (and this is a fact) Toyota is now paying the same wages (in total $/year/head) at its Kentucky plant as the UAW gets at the Big Three. Stop fighting the old UAW battle... the problem now is after years of weak product not enough people will even consider a Chrysler... and if they do, they won't pony up for it.
