Yes, but the union auto workers are an extremely powerful union. If they don't get what they want, the entire Detroit automaking industry is screwed until the UAW is happy. I'm a conservative, I recognize the value of unions from 50 years ago, but I think that they have run their course and are now just hanging around because they can. If GM, Ford, and Chrysler didn't have to support the people that have retired that were in the unions, they'd be doing better than they are now. Unions were valuble back in the early 1900s up to about 1942, then they just became redundant because of the war and the rising wages of the 50s.
