You can't treat workers like Henry Ford did and not expect push back. The same type treatment occurred in the textile industry but the workers had been brainwashed into allowing it to happen due to management fostered fear of "unions".

That worked fine when the 3 of them had nearly 100% of the market. Enter imports, manufactured without UAW-negotiated costs, and the race was on to bankruptcy. Unfortunately rather than allowing this to go the way of all business failures the feds made the cratered remains wards of the taxpayers. We will get to pour more money to the UAW now as they build Lord Obama's green cars for a public who wants none of it. Delayed failure always costs a lot more. Watch Ford, the only remaining private US automaker-- they mow have to negotiate labor contracts with an entity, the UAW, that owns large stakes in their 2 US competitors. Good luck with that.

Watch Ford, the only remaining private US automaker– they mow have to negotiate labor contracts with an entity, the UAW, that owns large stakes in their 2 US competitors. Good luck with that.

I guess the multinational companies would just pay off Congress to keep things how they are.

Want to see protectionism and government subsidy then look at the Japs. We (the US) have sold our manufacturing soul to foreign countries. This has already cost us dearly in the Irag war as we couldn't deploy until foreign made stuff showed up. Think we could have won WWII that way? So if you are out of a job and hungry then eat your foreign car. The demise of the domestic automobile industry began when all you preppies bought cars made by the people who brought us Pearl Harbor.
