Your asserting the UAW has destroyed the USA doesn't make it true. You have violated the Community Guidelines in many ways with this, for example, yours is not a real question but a rant, just to name one.

the more they demand in bennies an pay adds to the Price of the auto. A non union wile make less per hr. than a union worker. Its not just the UAW its almost all large co. There is relay not enough room to answer this question but as plain as I can be If i can built a item for less in labor I can put more money onto quality. I know a lot of people who work for the dollar an hate there job. they just show up to collect a pay check.
Almost all people who like there job have pride in doing it better

It is not the unions that are destructive, they are simply a voice for the workers they serve, who feel that they deserve a good living wage. Shortsightedness on the part of car manufacturers mean that US cars are far behind the technology curve compared to other companies, particularly in fuel efficiency. Publicly traded companies have an obligation to their stock holders to keep stock prices rising in the short term, regardless of the long term costs. Many companies are leaving for a number of reasons, and at the top of that list is rising health insurance costs.
The manipulation of our food supply and uninformed food choices made every day by millions of individual Americans destroys health. Pharmaceutical companies advertise their products as panaceas for the resulting cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and myriad other problems.
The federal government spends more tax dollars on diabetes treatment than on education. The so-called "healthcare crisis" cannot be resolved until Americans take responsibility for their own health by improving their diets and their lifestyle choices.
Also, Americans are obsessed with finding the best, and cheapest, deal. This has led to an addiction to cheap imported goods, particularly from China, and to the closing of thousands of factories in the US. If you are buying your clothes and your food and your furniture from overseas, why then be surprised when the manufacturers move their production facilities there as well? If we are not willing to pay the fair price of goods, we will not receive a fair price for our labor.
Top executives at American corporations receive obscene amounts of compensation while the workers (who are the producers) have seen their wages stagnate and decline.
Never before in our history has the gap between rich and poor (and even upper middle class) been so great.
A more pertinent question might be "how come real wages have declined for the overwhelming majority in the USA, while good jobs are going overseas?"

Many years ago, the United Auto Workers held a secret meeting. At this meeting, they charted their plan to drive American jobs overseas, and here's how they did it:
First, they convinced the major executives at all American auto manufacturers to support only gas-guzzling designs that were technologicallly inferior to those the Japanese were developing. Thay way, no one would buy American cars. it was a brilliant strategy, for when Americans found out that Toyota Corollas were better autombiles, they bought them, instead of Chevy Cavaliers or Plymouth Reliants.
Next, the UAW implanted electroneurological control devices in the cerebella of every American auto worker. These devices allowed union leaders to influence worker brain waves so that people who had once been hard-working, patriotic citizens suddenly became hateful, treasonous animals who deserted their families, spat on the flag, and shirked their assembly line duties.
As a final tactic, United Auto Workers asked for decent wages, medical benefits, and retirement plans for all workers, so that those workers would not be left without resources when they encountered life difficulties. When the workers were free to have home lives as well as work lives, they became arrogant and started to think of themselves as human beings again. Once that happened, it was impossible to get them to work for low wages just so executives could buy Lear jets and condos on tropical islands. From that point on, factories employed robots to do the work- they are cheaper than humans and don't ask for breaks.
I'm so glad people like you are aware of the vast conspiracy working people have concocted to get rid of their own jobs- without your insight, we'd all be turning Japanese.

the car companies have gone to the overseas builders to make more money and the UAW or whoever has gone up against the folks that head ford and gm for their share of high profits -- a while back you could buy cars and trucks for around 10k or less and most of these price increases are CONTRIVED just like the "oil scare in 1976" THEY want more money and WE pay........
