The anti-union sentiment is coming from the politicians. I live in Middle Tennessee, along that I-65 corridor, and it's all about jobs. People I speak to want the bailout so the GM plant in Spring Hill doesn't have to close. Spring Hill was a boom town ten years ago, and a lot of clapboard houses and strip malls would leave it a ghost town. Most people here aren't in a union and don't really think about it much; they want jobs, whether they come from foreign or domestic auto manufacturers. Otherwise, they're opposed to all bailouts without discrimination.
