Ken, I blame the UAW for the economics of the industry, not the assembly line problems. The union might as well have used a mask and a gun to hold up the auto makers in the '60's. That's when I notices the big wages and generous benefit packages. You could argue that it was better to hire on with a UAW job at an auto maker than spend money going to college. Company managements always gave in and just passed the costs back to the customers. Cheaper foreign manufacturing eventually broke the paradyme that union and management were using, to the advantage of the consumer. Regards, Bob S.
