And as per various observations, they have the living bejeezus taxed out of them, in part to support the indulgences of Greece, Italy, and developing issues in Spain.
So manufacturing costs were too high in Germany, and they outsourced. This produced jobs in the USA. And this is bad how?
And for the record, there isn't a damn thing stopping the SC BMW employees from organizing if they thought the unionization would actually benefit them. Same is true in all other RTW states.

The upside is you have a job, the downside is you fall out of the middle class.
And keep in mind that the ONLY reason the plants are not unionized is because they pay the workers more than they otherwise would to keep the union out. If the union disappeared tomorrow, only a fool wouldn't believe the wages at these plants wouldn't drop.
Race to the bottom!
