For the country, no big deal. There are plenty of transplants that are making cars and trucks in right-to-work states. For Michigan, it's the payoff for years of catering to UAW. For Ford, like GM and Chrysler, the effects of the UAW's indifference to the success of the product has come home to roost. Management was complicit by allowing UAW to dictate the terms without regard for the health of the company.

Turning a large "for-profit" business into a welfare state should never have happened.

It is truly sad.
