I've got close friends that work at Nissan. Every time a Union contract comes up the workers vote it down. The reason is that Nissan takes very good care of its employees. There's a 3 year long waiting list for employment there and that's primarily because it's such an excellent company to work for. As for the bailout; even as a Democrat I do NOT support a bailout for any major corporation. Not banks, or investment firms, and definately not auto makers. These execs are just trying to take advantage of an opportunity. They're not going to let their companies go under, you didn't hear a peep out of them until Wall Street got its handout. Every bit of this is a sham. I say let them go under. Then they'll restructure, hopefully with a focus on quality and treating their workers a little better WITHOUT the protection of a Union... like those foreign companies.
