In keeping with the thread a little, CNN's In the money had a discussion on labor. 10 of the most productive plants in the US, are UAW represented plants. And since the two tiered wage scale system has been approved by the UAW , the difference in wage/benefits/legacy costs is very little.
The issue isn't as much labor as credit availability, and uncertanty about the financial future.
