Reviving Detroit must start with the UAW

The Detroit 3 are in trouble because for more than 25 years, they built products that ranked poorly in Consumer Reports' ratings, cost billions in warranty and recall expenses and caused extraordinary losses of market share. Management must design the vehicles and the production process with UAW input, but the UAW must lead the effort on the shop floor to produce the highest quality worldwide. Something that should not require additional action from Congress is the restoration and strengthening of the Detroit 3's captive finance companies.
