Foreign automakers have also been offered huge incentives to build, primarily in the south, which further reduced their costs.
Unions haven't "killed GM and Chrysler etc". This is a totally one-sided argument & completely exonerates the U.S. auto companies for their uninspiring design & poor business decisions from the 60's onward that concentrated on profitability to the detriment of innovation, quality and design. Unions aren't blameless in regards to the higher costs per vehicle, but dropping it all on their laps is pure BS.
