Everyone in life deserves better, but it does not mean you will get better. Maybe it just didn't work no matter how hard any--or all--the employees tried.
To be sure not every American executive is unethical, nor is every American company is unethical.

Too often unions are treated as speedbumps to greedy exceutives lining their pockets. IMO lot of the decline can be traced to leveraged buy-outs and takeover firms.

The Midwest saga is very sad and yet another chapter in Amercian corporations post millenia.
