I wouldn't want GM to totally pull out of the country....but I would support them moving into new factories in areas where the UAW currently has no presence. If they were to build a couple of assembly plants in an area with a huge blue collar workforce that isn't union friendly, like, say, Houston and simply didn't allow the UAW in....I don't see a problem with that. I doubt the UAW would be as quick to go on strike if the plant is in the middle of nowhere, Alabama even if they were involved.

Hyundai and Mercedes Benz opened new, modern plants in the Birmingham area. Toyota opened a plant in San Antonio. Nissan started to spend billions in the Jackson, Mississippi area about a decade ago.
