A Solution for General Motors

This is the only sensible way to address the problem. Unfortunately, the democrats are too beholden to the UAW to make it happen. I worked for a supplier to GM. We staffed our facility with union, hourly workers and paid them $70k all in per year. Most hourly workers would be happy to have that wage. The UAW grieved the situation and GM caved and made the workers UAW at about $130k. How can an industry compete when paying $60k more per worker than the market dictates. They can't. I knew at that time that the US auto companies were doomed. I have bought US cars my adult life due to patriotism and they tended to be cheaper than the foreign brands. If they now get a handout without restructuring, I plan to start buying foreign to help force the issue.
