GM, Delphi, etc., if they lose their attacks on unions, have an incentive to push for national health insurance; if they win and bust unions (through lockouts) or cut unionized auto workers’ wages and benefits (through the UAW’s concessions) to the level of meatpacking workers’, they won’t have any incentive to push for it AT ALL.
Shouldn’t the union be taking the lead on this, rather than hoping that some dying industrial dinosaurs might? It’s hard to imagine a Wal-Mart associate getting behind the struggle of $100,000/year autoworkers as long as the autoworkers’ struggle isn’t presented as a broad class project.
