[lbo-talk] Strip and flip at Chrysler?

[Steven L. Robinson]

I think the point is that if the UAW were able to organize the Japanese owned auto plants in this country that would give it the resources to better stand up to the demands for concessions by US  automakers.  Frankly, there is now no satisfactory solution to the problem of the US owned auto industry, at least from labor's end, the result of choices made or imposed decades ago.  SR .
