We have a huge BMW plant in Greer, SC and they employ nearly 8,000 and are doing fine. In fact, they are hiring now.
Yea, It’s expanding too and I don’t know if people realize or consider this — but it generates an awful amount of ancillary business too.
In Pennsylvania, VW hired GM execs and brought in the UAW.
Plant failed in 10 yrs.
In SC, BMW hired American Honda execs and avoided unions scrupulously.
Success!
