I have a suggestion. Let's have the UAW buy GM and Chrysler, fire white collar people and run the company from perspective of doing what is right for their union members. What do you think they would do different? People have assumed existing management is incompetent so the UAW can't do any worse, or can they? They could use the value of their pension fund, perhaps with some government backing. I would love to see it. For far too long the attitude has been "us vs. them" when the reality is that "they" competed on a global stage against, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, etc. The goose that lays the golden eggs is near death, they should have been willing to make concessions decades ago.
