Its not that management has all the answers, but rule by committee can be just as problematic. Do you select one person to run the company...and then is it someone from the union? Someone with no previous management experience? Will all management decisions have to be done in committee or open to a rank and file vote?

I'm very pro-union and want to see the auto industry restructured...and IMHO, this means breaking up the too big to fails...a long overdue overhaul of a company that failed in the marketplace and history has shown is in no real hurry to change. Instead, these companies broken up with assets being sold to American-only companies that must honor existing union contracts.

Not that a union can't run a company, but it does put it in an awkward position...and when it comes to the company making a profit or benefits for the workers, will a union-selected boss decide differently than a private sector one? Again, I have questions and doubts. I'd prefer for the unions stand firm for protecting workers jobs and rights...not try to solve the problems others created.
