Ford throwing off the burden of the UAW would be a huge win for consumers. Fords might actually be built well for once, and they'd be cheaper.
Consumers ARE working class people, you know that, right? Unions improve conditions across the board for working class people by creating competitive pressure to increase wages and improve working conditions. Unions are good for consumers.
In theory, I agree. In practice that's not the actual result.
