Thu, 02 Apr 2009 02:06:47 +0000 http://harrisonprice.com/?p=515#comment-139 Here's what drives me nuts about the whole stranglehold unions have on the auto industry (and a few others, frankly). The abuses that gave rise to unions in the first place have been legislated out of existence. Yes, it seems that unions have been too successful in that regard. So what's left for them to do? Push for inflated wages that make it next to impossible for American companies to compete. Unions are more interested in their own survival than the continued existence of the companies that employ their members. Strange, huh?
