The unions failed to gain representation in the Mack plant and the supplier
plants around the Mack truck plant in North Carolina at first as well, but
they are nearly all represented plant today. NC is a right to work state.
My source is a nephew that works in the assembly plant. True past efforts
to get enough signatures to allow workers to vote on union representation
have fallen short. The latest effort looks more like a vote is likely.
Honda, like all who are targeted by unions, spend a lot a company time and
effort to convince workers they do not 'want' a union. They threaten to
reduce the work force of even shut down and such, but the first thing the
company does is improve the wage and benefit structure. The first thing the
union tells the workers on the next try is, we got you your last employment
package improvement and we are not yet representing you. Can you imagine
what we can do for you if we do get to represent you? LOL
