I call BS. WHERE in the auto industry do they work? I'm guessing management, or some other non-union position.

lol Snowball...

-Dad, Grandpa Engineer (non-union, but not management)
-2 uncles, auto parts plant (union)
-Mom, Healthcare Management, basically all her work is for the Big 3, directly or indirectly (self-employed)
-Not to mention everyone on my mom's side of the family who worked in [censored] ass union factories in Muskegon

Not to mention pretty much any business you are running in Michigan requires the auto industry to do well, for pretty obvious reasons. It isn't, so we are 49th (I believe) in economic productivity in the nation.

Also, cuts in management and engineering have already happened, and it sucked. Basically my dads dept was cut in half, he's lucky to still have his job.

Snowball, look at right to work states vs states w/ mandatory union factories. See which economies and workers are doing better.
