Actually you can form another union and drive the old one out. Where i work it used to be the machinist Union now it's the teamsters. There is also no requirement to join. Did the axle company open it's books to prove it's case. Rarely are companies who cry they need wage cuts willing too do that. my guess is the unwillingness here stems directly from the Delphi exec bonuses given after huge givebacks by the Union. Delphi poisoned the well for other companies.
