This was the crux of the dispute at Toyota. Toyota wanted to approach the workers directly to take a vote on wages. I don't doubt that faced with the prospect of no job, many would have accepted it. Instead, the union killed the proposal, and the factory decided to shut its doors instead.

When the workers eventually hold their hands out wanting assistance, I wonder how much of the tens of millions their union is sitting on, will be offered to help .....

this is only my opinion , but your comments make me sick !!!
