Union or not,  it's a shame when private sector jobs dissapear.  They are needed to pay for the very expensive public sector union jobs.  How do you pay for all that shunshine list?  The unions decision to strike is short sighted.  The writing is on the wall.  Most, if not all, automotive manufacturing and supply will go to Mexico.  Costs are so much less. Protectionism policy protected jobs but made goods more expensive.  These unions can only come to terms with how much they can compete on wage and hope other expenses still don't prove to be prohibitive like hydro.  Hydro workers are the real culprits to hydro expense
