UAW has tried and failed to unionize several of the “trans-plants” for years. Southerners don’t like labor unions - that is especially so with the UAW which drove the domestic auto manufacturers into the ground. Everybody can see what its turned Detroit into.
The bad thing is that there are so many good jobs here that non-Southerners are moving here for the jobs. Most are probably fine but some get hired that bring their pro-union attitudes (and other attitudes) with them. Local cities are constantly building housing and can't keep up with the influx. Some cities infrastructure can't keep up with the increased traffic. Our economies are growing by leaps and bounds. As long as our Southern values aren't compromised I'm all for the growth and hope all of these new citizens adjust to us and don't try to make us like what they left.
Back in the '70s, I worked with a guy who said he lucked out with his General Motors automobile, bragging that he got a "Wednesday" car.???
I asked what that meant and he said the GM car workers were still hungover on Monday and Tuesday from the weekend and did slovenly work. Thursday and Friday they were looking forward to the weekend and did the same. Wednesday was that narrow point in time when they turned out a decent quality vehicle.
