The Republican governor, Phil Bryant, has also come out hard for Nissan. “If you want to take away your job, if you want to end manufacturing as we know it in Mississippi, just start expanding unions,” Bryant

Other unions from around the south have shipped in organizers from across the country to assist in the outreach
This is why we can't have anything nice.

Have people not noticed what the unions have done to Detroit?

This is what's wrong with most modern day unions. They don't mind putting these people out of work to score political points.

The average worker doesn't know the details of what happened in the rust belt.
Unions as they function today are a siren song.

Mississippi can't afford to appear unfriendly to this kind of manufacturing.

modern employment laws especially in Mississippi make unions completely pointless.
It will not be as bad as some claim but its not going to be good for damn sure.

The unions tried this with Boeing here in Charleston. It didn't go their way.

Holy cow governor. Heaven forbid we should attempt to have not just a job but a job worth having.
It sounds like some of you would be delighted to have Thai hookers in whatever state you live in working for five dollar services but if challenged will say "well then all the hookers will move to x state and that will cost us jobs." Do you really want those jobs?
Now obviously I am not suggesting that the plant jobs compare to that, but I am suggesting that "well dammit if that is what those dang factory owners want we better give it to the" does nothing more than drive down the wages of the working man.
Funny, isn't that why Trump was elected because people were pissed off seeing the dow jones explode but their wages stayed at 12 dollars an hour? How do you not see that this is exactly the reason. Companies are playing states and areas off one another to keep the working wages down.

I support unions for white men in the midwest, but there's something obscene about ungrateful Afro'd women in Canton, MS threatening to unionize

You are against them unionizing because of their hair? Are you trolling?

What does an increase in the DJIA have to do with hourly wages?

It is emotional. People are angry that there is no trickle down despite the blah-blah about trickle down.
I see that in my industry. Bosses tell their employees oh no, no raises, or only teeny ones this year, my God it is tough out there, internet taking over, oh wow no chance for a raise.......and then corporate makes the biggest earnings ever and the guys at headquarters get 10 million dollar bonuses.

I believe Nissan said they would move their plant if they unionized.

The more you type the more obvious how ignorant you are.

And let's hope they move to somewhere where ANOTHER union does the same. Says "this shall not be" and demands good working conditions.

This isn't 1896. If anything, unions create unsafe working conditions, not safer ones.
I can't tell if you're trolling at this point or not.

Are you just saying whatever you think will piss people off, or are you really this stupid?

Economies of scale.
