I think it's the other way around...
I wish actually, that is one smart chocolate chip cookie. 
2009 Honda Civic (loaded) Base Retail: $26,700My point is there is a 38 dollar PER HOUR difference between union and non union auto jobs....making union cars inherently more expensive to purchase...it's self defeating.
More unions mean being LESS competitive in the market...any market.
out.
Civic - Made here or in Japan2009 Honda Civic (loaded) Base Retail: $26,700
2009 Chevy Cobalt SS Turbocharged Base Retail: $23,425
You can look it up yourself, Honda has a comparable benefits package and pays their workers slightly less the UAW. STILL think unions are destroying big three?? Think again.
Chevy Cobalt is made in Lordstown, Ohio.
Okay, so both are made in the US, doesn't change the fact that both of them are Ricers.Chevy Cobalt is made in Lordstown, Ohio.
Parts are manufactured all over, same with Japanese cars. For example my VW has parts from Germany, Argentina and Mexico, it was assembled in Canada.
Not really the point I was trying to make. I started researching this because of the claims Jax made earlier today. When I started I thought Jax was right. After sifting through a lot of statistics what I have found is this: UAW workers receive comparable compensation if not less than Foreign manufacturers. UAW workers had their benefits packages cut, they pay more into their own healthcare and 401K.
With that I'm off to bed, Night guys.
regardless of the prices you posted...it is the PROFIT % on those two cars which count. Detroit has to match or beat its competition to sell the car. This does not mean however that the 2 cars produce the same profit....they don't. My numbers are relative to the big entire auto picture, not plant x vs plant y, or model A vs. model B. Overall, the unions have made it very very difficult for detroit to continue.Chevy Cobalt is made in Lordstown, Ohio.

What is the average profit percentage of GM vs Honda?regardless of the prices you posted...it is the PROFIT % on those two cars which count.

The Detroit auto industry is about to collapse..... and rightfully so. let them go....

You got something to cite on your information?
You can go look at it right NOW brutal that was taken from the NYSE. I don't need to site info that you can easily type into Google stock quotes. Play around with it if you want, let me know if you find the perfect stock.
That's Net Profit Margins, and is not comparable considering the events of the last year.You can go look at it right NOW brutal that was taken from the NYSE.

I don't know YOU look it up brutal,
I feel like you guys have slung enough BS to do your own research.
Right on. The right is basically wrong. Unions provide an atmosphere of working conditions and pay and benefits that all employees should have. Corporations should not only be about the bottom line, or shareholder profits, but should be a total deal, With responsibility to the employees, the environment, the community, and most of all fairness for all entities involved. Untill the time that corporations decide to do this on their own, unions will be needed. If Corporations did align themselves with a fairness doctrine, unions would be obsolete. Want to get rid of unions? Try paying a living wage, giving ample benefits, not polluting, being a flower in the community, not a blight, and having a real presence in the community with community approval and appreciation.I don't know YOU look it up brutal,
Well said medicine some companies have already done this. Is it so hard to treat people well?!
The level of responsibility is given to the individual worker as much as possible. Good healthcare, community involvement, strong 401K, profit sharing, stock options, paid lunch, vacations ect. Profits?! Through the roof, even after a few greedy a-holes dumped all their stock it is still a great company driven by the ownership taken by the happy workers.
The problems with Unions Med is that they have established themselves as parasites, and are hypocrits.
