UAW are the guys who design the cars, decide how many to produce, how to market them and how to distribute them.. yea they are responsible for just about everything....

Well, for a "dude" who discovered a land already found and all the savagery that he wrought, I'm very grateful to him for starting what we have today.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. God bless you Christopher Columbus!

Actually, none of those who make the decision you describe are members of the UAW. Only those who work in the factories are members of the UAW.

Marketing, designers/engineers, planning, finance, distrubtion, etc. are not union workers.

When the UAW goes on strike, none of the "corporate" employees honor that strike. They're all salaried employees and non-union.

Don't be silly. UAW is just the people who are receiving about $5,000 per American car sold to pay for benefits for their retired workers.

the UAW is responsible for providing the labor to assmble the vehicles

they are poorly assembled.......
