Reply #124: That's great, but wasn't your point about union workers?

I'm delighted to hear that the US auto companies aren't treating their Mexican employees badly, truly, that's good news. But I thought your whole beef with foreign cars was that they didn't employ US Union workers, so we should all feel guilty for not buying American cars. But, as you just said, the American auto companies aren't hiring US Union workers, they're hiring non-Union Mexican workers. So how does it help US Union workers for me to buy "American" cars made by non-Union Mexican workers as opposed to "foreign" cars I know to be built in the US by Union workers? Sorry, I'm confused here. :shrug:
