I've said it before, I'll say it again.
Auto workers can only put together the parts and sub assemblies that they are given.
Frankly the portrayal in the media of autoworkers as some overpaid nut turners pisses me off. Assembling a car requires both skill and physical labour to a degree that most of the people bitching about the workers wages either couldn't do, or "think that type of manual labour is beneath them" <_<
If management chooses to buy substandard parts or sub assemblies from god knows where in order to cut costs, the workers are left holding the bag. The workers are then assembling what they know is crap but management chooses to ignore the long term damage to the companies reputation in order to save a few bucks per car now.
