I seem to have struck a nerve.

Sorry about that.

I'm not arguing against the existence unions. You've made your view plainly apparent. I guess I need to do better in making mine, but not tonight.

If you haven't yet, and have the time, Halberstam's [link|http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/03/15/home/halberstam-reckoning.html?_r=1&oref=slogin|The Reckoning] is a very good read. It's about the post-war auto industry in the US and Japan, with an emphasis on Ford and Nissan. It's just as relevant today, though it came out 20 years ago. Some parts of his thesis don't hold up, but on the whole it's a powerful telling of the rise and fall of the auto industry in the US in the 2nd half of the 20th century.

Cheers,
Scott.
