And the union will impact that how?
Of course, Tennessee could do NOTHING if VW closed its doors and left. Just as California could do nothing when Toyota shut down the NUMMI venture with General Motors/UAW.
So why drive it away? There are any number of states who would throw money at VW to build there.
Accordingly, anyone who thinks the state doesn't have a stake in management when they give incentives is as clueless as those who think venture capitalists won't try their hand at micromanagement the first time profits hint going south.
As clueless as anyone who thinks that the Tennessee legislature can make better business decisions than VW management?
See my post #60 for more details and . . . make no mistake, I am not advocating that the state be involved in the business management decisions, be it Republican lawmakers or Democrat appointed czars.
I'm simply pointing out that such is an inevitable result of this public-private partnership stuff.
