Month 2 And Clock Is Ticking

[3wheelin]

Hurray, another fan of "How it's Made". I also like "Rescue my Renovation"!

Can't get enough of 'em! I also dig Velocity channel for shows like Wheeler Dealers, Garage rescue, Overhaulin', etc. basically anything about cars. I never miss How it's made specials on exotic cars.

I hope they do, "How It's Made: Three-Wheeled, High Mileage Vehicles."

Hope this is useful to you and explains why COMAU will be setting up the plant and why it makes no sense to hire people until Elio gets the word from COMAU.

I wonder when the UAW is going to step in and demand their share.

Just FYI ---- Louisiana is a "Right to Work" state.
The folks at Elio will have the right to vote to determine their representation.
They will not be forced to join a union.

Paul agreed to 1500 workers, not 1500 union workers. Maybe a new Elio will be part of their wages.

<------ Union mechanic. I have no problems with the Elio plant being union.

I don't either.
But it is their choice.
They get to make that vote.
Unless we have jobs there, we don't get to vote on it.

Is the UAW present in other motorcycle companies? If not, what would be their interest in this one?

 

[Maurtis]

Aren't union labor forces more expensive than non-union? I know there are benefits to union labor (used to work with Teamsters on the docks), just thinking of the baseline costs and Elio trying to keep costs down.

REMINDER

for some folks Pro/Anti Union feelings run strong .... keep in mind that civil discussions are required on this forum .... the tone so far is fine .... hopefully it will stay that way .... if not, the the discussion will end
