I'm guessing you mean to say it won't take many decently paid UAW workers to put such a car together. Kim Moody has a great article on the contract negotiations and modularization in the August Labor Notes -- I wanted to send it along with the Wash Post article but it wasn't at their web site. Moody faults the UAW leadership for not having a strategy to combat this massive planned reorganization of the auto industry, preferring to leave the problem up to its locals to fight one by one.
