Sorry pal but if you want to look at what actually happened then look at the whole picture.

The profit margins on GM's small cars were slim because of reasons which include the cost of UAW building them. When you have slim profit margins, you look for ways to cut costs to break even. That is what has been actually happening over the last 20+ years.
