I really wasn't trying to draw attention to the union pay, instead I was trying to discuss the flawed financial equation that auto companies are battling. They simply spend more than they make and with competition improving so drastically it will only get harder. Thanks, Damien @DamienH I agree with you completely, there are many more costs associated with running a business in the US.

I really wasn’t trying to draw attention to the union pay, instead I was trying to discuss the flawed financial equation that auto companies are battling. They simply spend more than they make and with competition improving so drastically it will only get harder.

In fact I only became a US citizen last February as I spent the first 10 years of my life in Europe. Also I have traveled throughout most of this country and I can still confidently say that I'd rather live here. Outside of the US is another story as I have found plenty of places that I would enjoy living. So where have you traveled and why do you seem to get offended by the fact that I love the city that I live in? An answer would be appreciated Damien @DamienH I have traveled.

You earn much more than you would in a third world country as well. You are also ignoring the elephant in the room. Auto workers in Japan, Europe, Canada etc receive healthcare coverage through the govt, it is not part of their pay. US auto companies are at a distinct disadvantage because they are competing against companies that do not have this expense. “We pay our union employees 10 times what foreign employees are paid”

I am just curious how you speak in such absolute terms. You should really get out and travel, and see the world (or at least the country). Have you ever traveled???
