The UAW drove Colt's firearms into bankruptcy (the gunsmiths at Colt's were UAW members) by refusing to allow Colt's to modernize by installing CNC milling machines that would've allowed the company to produce a higher quantity of products thereby reducing per unit manufacturing costs. Because this would cost the loss of a few machinist positions, the UAW blocked every attempt to make the upgrade. Instead, Colt's found themselves unable to compete because of price and unable to expand to meet demands for more modern designs.  Yes, as long as the UAW and other unions can control industry, we are doomed. They would rather cripple a company than do what is best for everyone. GM, and Ford should both file for bankruptcy and divest themselves of their union legacy obligations. Another option would be for Ford and GM to split themselves into domestic and overseas divisions and move the hq for the overseas division overseas. It would save the companies a fortune in taxes and then they could simply start closing their north american plants until the union cries uncle.
