Motown blues.(automobile workers' compensation)
Time for a quiz about car manufacturing in America. True or false?
* Far fewer cars are made in America today than in the 1960s, the heyday of American auto production.
* Pay at Japanese-owned car plants in America is a small fraction of that at the UAW-controlled American manufacturers.
* Foreign car manufacturers located here do not pay health care benefits to workers.
* The foreign car manufacturers have no retirement benefits for workers.
* None of the design work for foreign carmakers is done in the U.S.
If you said false to all of the above, go to the head of the class. Hard as it may be to believe, car manufacturing in the U.S. is thriving. As Eric Noble of Car Lab puts it, "The domestic auto industry is as healthy as it has ever been. The names on the plants are just changing."
