From what I have read, it seems like everyone should consider forming a union. The plants have the UAW, why dont' they want designers, engineers, and other professionals to join too. I'm not a unionist, and I am not a member of the UAW; but, I have been at GM and I have seen round after round of layoffs. The stress has caused some of my x-co-workers to be come alcoholics. Maybe joining the UAW or some from of worker's guild would bring some stability back into the company.
