Yes and can all see the success that resulted from the 'GM/UAW partnership'.
There are now less than 60,000 UAW employees at GM down from a high of 600,000 in 1979 and the company has gone from one of the most profitable in the world to bankruptcy. The benefits of unions are as clear here as they were in the steel and many other industries. Union card check legislation would extend there 'benefits' to many more people and industries.
