My point is; Unions have been in BMW since before you were born. The UAW has never been mentioned until now.

You are talking two entireley different animals.

The German "unions" aren't allowed to strong arm.. and they haven't ran companies into closing.

They don't have brand new Union Buildings next to empty car factories..

Look on your bottle of Miller Light next time and you will see you are enjoying a fine union made beverage. Would you want some untrained clown brewing your beer

Where do you think American unions got there model? EUROPEAN UNIONS.
Read your history about labor unions and come back another time.

It is amazing that Fredrick Miller was competent enough to brew beer and start a beer brewing company before there was a union.

Your correlation of "unskilled" to "non-union" is retarded.

Look at what your union pals tried at Coors.

that was the model they used to FORM labor unions what, 100 years ago? They've changed a little since than, and have become their own worst nightmare, there is NO similarity of what a Union was in the early 1900's and now, and there is NO similarity of a European Union to the UAW.

They're not only similar but at times work together to gain bargaining leverage over multi-national corporations.
