Not the best time to look for a job in the automative industry - especially if you want to join the union. Unions are on their way out, hopefully, as they make the industries in America less competitive and more expensive. People should be paid more because of skills/qualification, not because of collective bargaining, harassment, and litigation.

couldn't have said it any better. the union is one huge reason why this great state of michigan is falling on it's face right now. finding a good long lasting job at any of the big three automakers is damn near impossible right now.

Yep, I worked for GM when I lived in Detroit still. Those jobs were few and far between even back in the early 2000s when I was there. My whole department got outsourced.
