When Chryslers CEO recently went to DC in a corporate jet (probably not the smartest source of travel when asking for a bailout) he stated the average wage for a union employee was $73 an hour... How can a business model work if thats your payroll and you charge 30k for a car that the asians build better? The unions have created this mess, no way should the taxpayer rescue these companys UNLESS the union/ payroll takes a drastic cut/ reform. Otherwise they will end up in the same scenario a few years down the road. btw, if these guys get a bailout, look for the airlines to do the same, unions killed that model to... Just my take
