| Mr Khan said: While Detroit's problems partly stem from overpowerful unions, the gross ineffeciency of Big Three management is just as much to blame. GM seems to have gotten their act together well enough since the bankruptcy and bailout shocked them out of their overconfidence (granted a shock that came 30 years too late, but still). Damn straight minimum wage doesn't help. It doesn't even keep up with the cost of living. |
As far as Detroit's plight goes, I'd say unions and mismanagement of car companies pale in comparison to 50 years of one party rule and a population that has a functional literacy rate of 50%.
