Interesting thread. Now for a couple pot stirring examples: Toyota plant in California was a union GM plant that was a money loser, sold to Toyota who brought in Japanese management and also told the GM workers they were first inline to be rehired- but not the union, union not allowed unless new organization as law allowed.

As noted Toyota doesn't have a pension liability as a defined benefit plan, instead using a annaul defined contribuution individual plan-401k- as many US companies do.

Health care- GM cars made in Canada by union workers are $1800.00 less labor burden than US- the Canadian government does the health care for a 17.5VAT on car instead of company insurance by union contract. Toyota using American Deming process for inventory and quality control- difficult to implement in union shop. have fun gand. RN
