I read an interesting article in the August 3rd edition of The Economist, because magazines do take that long to reach me, and it was about the differences between the auto factories in the Southern US vs those in the North, and how the UAW (United Auto Workers) union is attempting to step into these Southern factories. Its a great article and highlights some of the dangers of unions having too much control, for example while GM based in Detriot pays roughly the same as a VW based in TN in pay for every worker, GM also pays 10 retired workers a pension for every one active worker still at the factory.
