If collective bargaining would apply to the entire sector, then there would be no advantage for the "foreign" makes. Yes, certain parts of the world operate with this concept.

Capitalism and Unions are not antithetical, many capitalist systems outside of the United States work collaboratively with the Union, as opposed to the hostile nature of the relationship here in the US, and are insanely profitable. In fact, VW management wanted to unionize here in the US, but the workers are so opposed to the idea (of earning higher pay and having a seat at the table with management? or maybe cuz someone has taught them that Unions are communist or anti-american or something) they voted against management's desire to unionize.

They're just pissed because the reality is Obama in 2012 added more to the cost of their cars than the GM strike ever would.
