  It's not GM workers, it's UAW workers.  Ford and Honda vehicles
  produced by UAW workers bought by UAW workers.  Certain vehicles are
  blacklisted by the UAW becasue they are made by non-union labor.

  Sorry if I sound disgruntled, but I think the time of unions has
  passed on.  I think they were incredibly beneficial for getting
  workers rights in motion, but now they just seem for lobbying and
  throwing weight around.  if that offends anyone, sorry.  I live near a
  BFG plant and I am always hearing about how the union is pissed
  becasue of whatever and people are thinking of going on strike...  I
  hear lots of union banter, way more bad than good.
