The GM of the site spent a good six months sending out emails, printing posters, discussing the issue in all hands meetings and we never saw the ratio creep over 40%. One year later they stripped out the manufacturing cells, turned the plant into an assembly/packing plant and reduced the hour workforce by 1500 which was about 2/3's.
After working with the UAW for several years, I am convinced that the long term viability of a company doesn't even work its way into their thinking. These clowns will run a company right into the ground even at the cost of their own jobs.

I dont think you're being very clear here.
Can't really comment on the issue without knowing the discussions between the owners and the union.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying that Unions are all knowing super geniuses. There will always be some morons finding their way to the top.
