Here We Go Again.

So American auto companies have been struggling for these last twenty years, trying to keep things afloat, and usually not succeeding by much.  What does the united auto workers union figure is the answer to that problem?  A strike.

DETROIT — [1] After 20 straight days of negotiations, the United Auto Workers union said it would strike General Motors Corp. Monday morning if a new contract agreement isn’t reached, citing the automaker’s failure to address job security and other concerns.

“We’re shocked and disappointed that General Motors has failed to recognize and appreciate what our membership has contributed during the past four years,” UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said in a statement early Monday.

It is said that a man with a hammer thinks every problem is a nail.  Apparently the UAW, only has one tool in its arsenal as well.  But what did I say about the unions are killing America? Do they not understand that their actions are what’s causing companies to look for labor outside the United States?
