Are you baiting me again. ?..All right, I'll bite.. The rank and file just assembled them .The various systems did not work. They did not start, when they did they did not run right. The emission systems made them pulsate, they rusted out as soon as they were drove off the lots, they broke down entirely too much, and on, and on, and on.. The rank and file just did what they were told, and used the parts they were told to. All the members do is bolt the cars together. The cars were engineered horribly. Remember, at the time, the Big 3 was loaded. It wasn't until the problem's with their product started rearing its ugly head that the sales collapsed. It takes five years to engineer a car. The damage was already done. And then after the problem was discovered, they were in either denial, or just stubbornness about remedying it. Where do you come up with the Unions were all to blame?. Are they somewhat to blame? Yea, they all were,....but it was a group effort. Do you think if all those members would have been making minimum wage ,the outcome would have been any different? I don't
