If your cousin was UAW, he’s gonna have some difficulty. Southern “import” plants aren’t too keen on former UAW personnel. Too much baggage and they know why The Big Three are in dire straits.

Even though the Korean carmakers don't have union problems in the USA, they do have union issues in the old country. The Chosun Ilbo, one of Korea's oldest papers wrote an editorial shortly before or after Obama took office warning Hyundai in particular that if they don't get a handle on their own union that they could repeat GM's history in another 30 years. I hope Hyundai took them seriously.

Tell me about it.
We’re having a “strike” ChangYeong right now.

Apparently, all it take to unionize in Korea is TWO EMPLOYEES.
That’s all.
Crazy.

We’ve got supervisors and managers running the place now.
Thank God for the economic “slowdown”.
I’d hate to see the warrenty claims in a few months ;)
