Unions are stupid.

The entire concept of a union is stupid. If you don't want to work under the conditions provided... QUIT, and go find a different job. No one owes anyone else a job.
So these idiots want to sue a bankrupt company for money, and claim it is for their union members? I wonder what happens to their union members when the company is gone because they already went bankrupt trying to work under their terms? Sounds like a great plan.

Yup. A huge part of the reason American manufacturing has a hard time being competitive.
Also a big reason why schools have gotten so bad.

As far as I am concerned you can throw minimum wage into the same category as unions. If you don’t want to work for $3/hour...then quit. If you are worth $15/hr then you will have the ambition to find a $15/hr job. If you don’t have such ambition then you are not worth $15/hr.
Both unions and minimum wage are reasons why US companies can’t compete. Workers comp, EPA, OSHA, and a few other things are also big reasons why the US industry is dying.
