It's a proven fact. And yes...BMW is like any other company when it comes to weighing their options financially. Tax breaks, no union headaches...and they built in Greenville/Spartanburg...not Detroit.

As for VW in Tennessee...they gave the workers the option to put in the union. They were not FORCED to do that. And the workers said "no". The UAW tried to FORCE them, but failed. And that community has a great employer there now paying great wages and great benefits...without the union's unnecessary expense and hassles. Again...NOT in Detroit.

If the environment is correct...business will thrive. People will have jobs.
Again VW corporate wanted the union. And the only reason it was voted out because extreme righties came in and told fake horror stories how VW would go away and it was the furthest thing from the truth made promises if this is voted down they would get other models and that to was bullshit. It actually bothered VW the way politicians handled it.

You would of been the guy saying you mean to tell me one day when you call a company you wont get a receptionist you will get a machine? Rubbish that will never happen. Im telling you technology lowers the need for people. When I built cars they had robots and that was in the 80's. They spoke about humanless plants and all the benefits. My boss said he had visited one that was experimental, things you dont think about like robots dont need lights or sick days or bathroom breaks. The plant he visited had two guys over seeing the whole plant.
