Unions have their place, but not to the detrement of the employers or the industry, and eventually the employees, in which they operate.

Well I was gonna say if Ford is smart enough they would use the credit crisis to take the huge amount of power the unions have. But I can understand the employees wanting to keep their pension plan, cause all the money that they would have paid for social security (government pension) has been spent by the government.
