Unions are to blame. Make them read all the laws first before they get started, that way they won't have time to make new ones. Perhaps this over-simplistic view is what's gotten American auto maker management folks into the jam they're in. German auto workers are still COMPLETELY unionized and make terrific wages and benefits. But then, over there, companies wouldn't dream of bargaining with workers WITHOUT a representative. The good companies I deal with would not want to deal with worker issues without a representative. There is the viewpoint that the workers are the ENEMY, and then there is the viewpoint that the workers are the MEANS to profits. That's how we're getting our asses kicked. And not just in auto industries.

But then, that's a bit too complex for the blamers and propaganda-munchers. Far easier to cry "Burn him, he's a WITCH!" while tossing your empty beer cans at the TV screen.
