@professionalbigot69 @EvilSandmich as much as I'd like to do that, I don't think it's that simple. Unions did have a lot to do with it, but not unions themselves, but that the UAW had enough strength to make an example of one of the big three and then bend the other.

You can blame the management for complying, perhaps, but it's probably 75% UAW / 25% management

Also Days of Rage shows you how much people felt things were falling apart.
