Uh, before we go off still yet further into the ether of 'pro-labor' rhetoric--much of it reading like Democratic Party press releases--let's just remind ourselves why Ford, Chrysler, and GM exist. They are run by management to make profits for shareholders (with management and shareholding often going together). These companies' existence in a capitalist country as part of a US-dominated system is based on making money for their ownership. They are not here to make cars, they are not here to employ people and make sure they get good health care and a nice retirement. Their finance divisions and financial officers would even speculate on the future price of shit if it looked profitable. If you start from that simple idea, you find you can focus much better.
