I guess the question this brings up is, what good is the union if they're damned if they do or don't? Even when the employees of the union voted for something they thought would guarantee some job security and then still get screwed, what are employees who are supposed to be protected by the union thinking?

In the end, this story would have had a different ending if only Chrysler had product that sells... it's not really a union issue, is it?

It is a union issue when the union brings to the brothers and sisters a change to the contract, in the middle of the contract, that the union endorses. Especially if the the union says that endorsing this change will mean a stronger future for the plant and your job security at the plant. And then 6 months later your out the door.
