Socialist labour unions, artificially making vehicles more expensive
by forcing wage deals for people at a level not in line with their
levels of education and experiance.

I have quie a few friends who've got family working in car assembly
plants elsewhere - the ford Escort/jag x-type plant in liverpol, and
the vauxhall plant in ellesmere port (which includes the GM V6 engine
plant) and they wish they were being paid as much as the unionised US
auto assemblers. I looked into applying for work at the taurus plant
in atlanta, but i really didn't like the working enviroment there. A
very bad atmosphere. I'll go for a japan-assembled car any time - the
work enviroment is much better, less hostiility in the air, less
friction between the tiers, and people work better in such
enviroments.
