It is sad to see the old Rootes factory being shut down regardless of who is
building there now. It seems to me that much of the auto industry is headed
the same direction that the airlines are going....unless the unions are
willing to accept drastic cuts in pay and benefits, most cars will be built in
Asia. Like it or not, that seems to be the situation. Years back a friend of
mine worked in a US assembly factory for a few years. He said that he was
limited to how much work he could produce and could have easily done two or
three times the amount he was putting out. Do you think you would ever hear
that story in a Toyota factory? :-)
