Do you mean that workers at Chinese owned plants won’t be unionized...buy workers at American owned plants will be unionized?
If the cost of manufacturing (including labor) is the same, then it means that the Chinese are willing to accept a lower profit margin than the Americans. Might pay their salaried workers less too.
Will be interesting to see if they succeed.
Maybe they expect the same kind of regulatory environment they have in China. Ya know anything goes.
Southern textile workers were not as a rule unionized. They rejected unions.
There are several big Southern textile firms that still have mills in the South. They are privately held.
