Why doesnt GM build more plants in 'right to work' states then?
"Why doesnt GM build more plants in 'right to work' states then?"
Because the state still can't compete with .27 an hour in China.
But, take heart! Within a decade the downward wage pressure will be great enough to create $5,000 a year programers and $7,000 a year doctors not to mention all those clerks, secretaries, admin assistants and insurance salesmen who will be making $1,000 a year.
I just can't see how anyone is going to pay property tax on 250K house, much less a mortage.
But hey, things will be cheaper won't they? Live long and prosper Walmart!
Probably because their labor agreements are national in scope, not specific to certain manufacturing facilities. I'm sure the UAW would automatically represent any GM employee even in those "right-to-work" states.
The UAW throws a fit every time GM brings up the idea.
They also start throwing money around to obstruct it.
