The "typical" German autoworker makes about $30.00 an hour. The "typical" Detroit autoworker makes at least that much plus has HUGE union mandated pension and benefit expenses related to organized crime which runs the unions.
"Simple folk" in South Carolina are happy to get $15.00 an hour.
Where would you build if you were BMW?
And... who benefits? The unemployed in South Carolina and the consumers of BMW automobiles.
There are many parts of the U.S. that can compete quite well with "foreign labor."
