German Labor's New Reality - New York Times

Everyone is facing global pressures. The key with the German car makers is that their was once a premium to be paid for their cars. That is evaporating with competative pressure from around the world. Additionally the wage pressures from all over can't be good for the unions.

The unions will have the toughest problems. What would SEIU do in this situation? I believe in the right to collectively bargin, but at the same time, expectations of unions have to got to go down. Nothing is certain except for change.
