"The union will not help further cut costs now that Ford is turning a profit."
That's an understatement.
Given the Christmas present Obama gave the union (partial ownership) in the GM collapse, why would they want Ford to succeed on any level?
After all, it's obviously in the unions best interest to destroy the company to the point of a government bailout, at which point they will be forced to the front of the line of creditors and given ownership of the company.
Of course the union folks can't do that singlehandedly. Poor management is a huge problem, also. But they can try.
