I absoutely would not say that companies cannot do the right thing without unions, however the tendency is for them to NOT do the right thing over the long haul. Unions are not the problem for Ford, GM, or whatever other company you want to cite.
I work with one of the last good unions in the United States for a profitable company and have little to complain about.

If that comment was aimed at me, then yes I don't like the unions of today. Do I feel they are a necessity, yes. The unions of today are so full of corruption and graft that they have forgotten what they originally stood for. The unions of today, could stop the immigration problems that are facing our country if they would stop worring about how to line their pockets and learn to protect the workers. When I see a person sitting around for 7 hours so he can work 1 hour with the excuse of "I can't do that it is not in my job description" then yes, I have a bunch of contempt for the unions. I am all for worker's rights, but not when it causes the jobs go overseas due to reduculous rules and regulations set in place by the corrupt union leaders.
When unions actually start protecting the workers again, I will support them. BTW, this is coming from a non-union managament worker.
