UAW says they are not to blame for the big 3's problems... yeah...
So the UAW has come out an said they are not to blame for the problems of the big three US automakers. Which is of course BS. They said it is the general economic meltdown. That might make a little bit of sense, if the big three had not been near death for the last 15 years. The only thing that kept them going has been truck sales, which are the only things that they actually made money on.
The UAW is why Detroit is collapsing while the rest of the world plans on building more cars in the US. It is ridiculous for the UAW to say that they have no role in the automakers problems, in my eyes, they are the very root of the problem. It has been the manufacturing costs, the healthcare costs, and overall labor costs which have dragged Chrysler, GM, and Ford into the dirt. Granted, the automakers made some poor decisions themselves, but I lay the blame squarely at the feet of the overpaid, over-protected, and overly needy UAW.
Unions have no place in a developed economy.
