CBS Evening News: Where American Companies Lack, Japanese Car Makers And Workers Are Thriving

The big 3 must reorganize and restructure. The executives are overpaid, promises to support retirees for life, workers also overpaid in comparison to other foreign companies. How can these 3 survive??? CEOs paid unrealistic amounts plus benefits - they would never learn how to do things right other than enriching themselves first. Doomed to failure! No to a handout for these 3 unless drastic changes are made.

Gee a Toyota autoworker is off for three months and gets his full pay. Wow the UAW workers only get 85% of their pay and thats including state unemployment benefits. And the man has a lifetime job. Boy the UAW sure got screwed by the big three, No lifetime jobs. I am sure if Toyota, Nissan or Mazda get into trouble the Japanese govrment will bail them out.

Management whose pay is not related to profits and an unrealistic UAW may make fossils of the ''Big Three''.
