The US, not just the private sector are going to be severing ties with Unions over the next couple of years as they are no longer necessary, rather they cause more harm then help. I've heard horror stories from project managers unable to 'talk' to union members because it wasn't apart of their negotiated contract - while they were on the SAME contract. The government has many laws to protect 'service' employees, and set prevailing wages. Unions, union dues are simply inefficient.

System is broken, there is a LOT more to the story then just BMW flipping a switch and removing good workers, BMW is a lot smarter than that.
Totally agree. Here in Charleston, the National Labor Relations Board is suing Boeing ( on behalf of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Union) because they built a second facility here to build the 787. NLRB is suing because Boeing took jobs away from Washington State by moving here ................. WTF, "if" the NLRB were to win, then Unions and the NLRB will effectively be able to dictate to private companies where they can choose to do business and build their facilities. This is crazy.
