    Some of you, the simplistic posters, get ready to get your minds blown...

    Japanese and German auto factory workers make MORE than UAW workers in the USA and Canada. They also have better, more expensive benefits.

    In Mexico, China, India, the workers make less, but these mostly are suppliers and service providers. IT people, for example. AND, the USA is full of IT people from India and China, but they are not necessarily low-wage people.

    This situation is much more complicated than you imagine, than your blow-dry Senators imagine. Your attack on the UAW, and on Detroit is misdirected. Please shrink back.
