Is there a disconnect here? On the one hand we bemoan the fact that the US car companies are not competitive. We know that the fully accounted UAW wages are over $70 per hour while the right to work transplants are a bit over $40 per hour. This means the foreign car companies in the south can either put in a few grand more worth of stuff in a car or sell it a few grand cheaper.
On the other hand, we hear that the new plan is to eliminate secret ballots to unionize, thereby putting more businesses in the same competitive disadvantage through encouraging increased labor costs.
Are we trying to have our cake and eat it too? How does supporting both an auto bailout and open union balloting make rational sense?
