The issue goes beyond unions... unions are simply one part of it. Dead weight in office, lack of innovation, unfair trade laws with other countries, etc. etc.
I would need to do some fact checking... but today I was told that Kia and Hyundai sold over 700,000 vehicles in the United States last year. American companies are only allowed to sell 6500 vehicles in South Korea per year. The number two foreign selling car in China is the Buick. several Latin American countries charge luxury taxes on American cars that basically double the price.
If those numbers are true, something is seriously wrong there on a policy level. I know that we are having trade problems with China, but with a country like South Korea (whom we are friends with) we should have a more fair trade policy.
So yes, auto companies are at fault... so are foreign trade policies... and I'm sure there are even more people at fault... we can say oil just to get it out there. Everybody needs to work together and find a solution, stonewalling simply hurts us all.
