Chinese Auto Glass Magnate Faces Union Challenge in Ohio (the UAW lost)

"The vote is widely seen as an indication of how Chinese companies that are building or buying factories in the United States might handle the delicate subject of labor relations. Unions in China are strictly controlled by the Communist Party. Unauthorized strikes or demonstrations are often quickly shut down."

If this Chinese dude was employing 2,000 Mexicans and Chinese at his Ohio plant you might have a point, but I think you’re posting crap here that belongs on another thread.

I scanned the Times article, but missed any reference to the most important information, which to me gives an insight into the attitude of the people of South West Ohio.

"Employees at Fuyao Glass America voted by a resounding margin Thursday against joining the United Auto Workers, defeating the union’s more than 18-month attempt to organize one of the Dayton area’s fastest growing manufacturers, in a fight that drew the international spotlight.

The final tally was 886 to 441, according to the National Labor Relations Board, which oversaw the election."

Thanks for posting that. I was wondering the same thing, especially when I saw the “UAW lost” item in the title of the thread. It looks like the NYT article was posted on 11/8 — just BEFORE the union vote.

You are correct. The Times ran this favorable article about the owner of this company prior to the unionization election. I cannot fathom why. There must be a devious Machiavellian reason as to why they would paint a favorable portrait instead of what is usually portrayed, an evil profit grubbing capitalist.

Lol...illegal = strictly controlled.

No, actually, not allowed to exist. They never make it to the stage of controlled. Unions are illegal in China.
