73,000 UAW workers walked off the job at GM plants nationwide. They are arguing over wage, health care and outsourcing concerns.

I liked seeing that unions are alive and well in this country. IMO, the single thing that government can do to improve quality of life the most is to strengthen unions. I think it also proves that unions are not necessarily a competitive disadvantage: the dispute is over how much to cut from the old contract instead of what new goodies the unions are getting.
