I had thought they had had their fill of bad PR, but I guess the factories didn't learn their lesson...

Also, there are millions of stories about people parking either their competing big-three car or (gasp!) their foreign car near a factory, and having it vandalized by the lovely people working there. Maturity is apparently not required for a car factory job.
I just don't understand the purpose of unions anymore. UAW, ALPA, etc. This is a different age we live in.
