Nonunion Companies Creating Automobiles in the United States

"As a company we can not have labor union car factories in the United States as well as in the United States and we can not compete with non-trade union companies that manufacture cars with labor unions, I think that we can do it. "103 Reynolds, 1986). GM 's vice president of labor - management Alfred Warren could not think about the idea of ​​a non - trade union company manufacturing automobiles in the US, but that day was here. The number of car companies operating in the country has increased considerably in the state.

According to the latest news coverage, 2.400 workers of a Japanese automobile company (Nissan, Tennessee) opposed the proposal to participate in United Auto Workers Union (UAW) (Asahi Newspaper, 1989, Sankei Shimbun, 1989 ). According to the report, this is the second failure of the UAW following Ohio's Honda plant. The basic idea behind the traditional American trading relationship is the conflict between management and workers based on a strict interpretation of contract and law. For managers and shareholders, workers are just one of the production resources. For workers, the company is a place to earn money, it is not just that.

Economic analysis confirms links between strong unions and less inequality. Union workers earn 15% to 20% more than similar unclassified workers. The number of CEOs joining the union is 10% to 20% less than the number of companies outside the union. In the public sector, trade unions are still relatively strong and help to prevent the spread of inequality seen in the private sector. Almost all developing countries have a lower degree of inequality than us, so the liquidity of the labor force is strong. However, the business model of the union of the private sector almost disappeared. In the past, the American labor union had defined itself as opposed to management. In the famous labor movement, I objected, not a partner to establish a successful company. Regardless of the business situation, they fight for high wages and limited labor regulations. This model works well as long as the majority of the US economy is dominated by a few large companies - enterprises can (and do) deliver increased costs to consumers.
