text: Are those the working conditions the non-unionized Honda workers  currently have - I think not.   
  You are living in the past, sweat shops 70 hour weeks, child labor in satanic mills disappeared over 100 years ago, in part thanks to the unions.    They did their job when they were needed now its time for  them to disappear as well.  Severance when laid off is decided by the courts who are giving far more than any union agreement.  Unfortunately if you are in a union you can't take your employer to court for any reason, firing, sexual harassment, unfair treatment etc , all have to be grieved by the union
