US don't have Unions...? Why do the big three need them?

Union reps have tried to get the japanese auto workers here in the US to join the Union but the workers themselves don't want to join. The workers don't make as much but have similar benefits and are happy employees.

Have the Unions ran their course? Are they nothing more than a drain on the company? Should the big three get rid of the UAW for good?

you do realize that the workers who work for foreign auto industry are complaining about several issues that the union workers in the us auto industry have not?
 
They don't need them
Toyota USA pays about $64/hr in compensation
GM pays about $70

It's not making that much difference right now

The bigger question is, when Japanese companies have access to Japanese banks that are in much better shape than US banks and the US automakers CANNOT access those same banks, what can we do about it?
 
Exactly. We need to get rid of the greedy unions once and for all. And who makes better cars? that's right, the foreign auto makers.
 
They don;t because they pay the workers $42 per hour as opposed to the big 3 who pay their workers $72 per hour. Who's the greedy ones, the big three, or the UAW?
