SNL did a "Bailout" skit, which has created some rather awkward problems for NBC. They spiked the video and tried to shut it down on the Internet. But aha, there's still some sites that have it.

There's a reason those new Honda and Toyota plants are in the South. It's no accident that they ended up in non union areas. It's a shame we'd rather lose jobs than to work for a wage that we can live on... says a lot about where we are now.

Since you mentioned union people would rather lose jobs than work for a living wage. Then I bet you would be surprised to find the Non-union auto works actually make more money than UAW workers at the big 3.
Average UAW laborer makes $29.78
While Toyota just topped $30.00
It's only when you include benefits into the mix does the union wage skyrocket.
Union is about $70
Non-Union is about $48
The reason for the big difference is legacy retirement cost

BTW all the Toyota and Honda plants in Japan are 100% unionized.

It's worth mentioning UAW has complained several times that Toyota and Honda were breaking unionizing efforts at their plants by "paying to much money and giving big bonuses"
How freaking stupid is that?
The union workers aren't the problem, it's a failed mentality with union leadership and dirty business practices which put the unions in place.
