Iacocca's "level playing field strategy" dared the Japanese to assemble vehicles in the United States. By doing so, they would incur huge investments in plant and equipment and, more important, Iacocca expected that they would have to absorb the huge cost of employing United Auto Workers talent to assemble those cars.
The Japanese did as Iacocca asked and incurred huge investments. But the investments were offset by savings from employing nonunion labor in the United States and Canada. No plants are required to use union labor, and workers at these plants voted not to organize.
Hmm good reason to NOT buy a honda
employ union workers!

Why haven't the workers voted to organize during all these years?
I've heard that workers don't feel the need to organize if the employer is doing no significant wrong by the workers.
Just a thought.

Let's not turn this into an auto workers union thread it's about where Honda's are built.
I know there's a big factory in Marysville, Ohio.
I'll gladly support U.S. jobs and the economy by buying a Honda/Toyota, instead of Canada, Mexico, Korea, etc.
