Ken Braun: Big Labor didn't build the middle class

Ken Braun: Big Labor didn't build the middle class | MLive.com:

"The UAW doesn’t build cars, and it isn’t necessary to build cars.

As recently as 2007, the Michigan Senate Fiscal Agency reported that non-union Americans working at U.S. assembly plants owned by foreign automakers built more than one-third of the planet’s American-made cars.

UAW president Bob King recently proposed a hefty 25 percent dues hike on his members.

Unlike the financial decisions made by the CEOs of the Detroit Three automakers, King’s plan isn’t going to improve profitability, build a single car, or create auto jobs."
