UAW Brings Down the Auto Industry

Published by mrfrugal at 2:47 am under Business, World Politics, economics Edit This

There are two problems with the US auto industry. The first is that management has lost touch with reality and does not know what the American consumer wants in a vehicle. The second is what brought the auto industry down, the UAW.  Unions served their purpose doing the industrial revolution but lawyers now are able to represent workers that are treated unfairly.  The UAW is a burden upon the auto industry and will in the end bring it down.  The majority of the auto industry workers are highly overpaid, cry babies and lazy people. 

I worked for a union for five years and I was laid off even though I was one of the most highly productive employees.  I was picked along with my other productive colleagues only because the other union members had more seniority.  Other lazy workers kept their jobs only because they applied before me.  I did however receive 75% of my salary for four months until I found another career.  I would had found a job earlier but shit; I was getting paid to sit on my ass.  Just like my fellow union members still working for the auto industry.
