The unions do hurt. I remember overhearing a CAW rep talking about talks with automakers, and they’d be “going head to head with lawyers” to try and make deals. It’s the way he said it that gave me the impression that the mentality was that…they want to get the most possible out of the automakers possible, not doing whats best for both parties.

I dunno, whenever I’ve worked for a company I have tried to do whats best for both of us, not just myself. Whats good for them is typically good for me in the long run.
