Aviation Enthusiasts; KLM complains about quality control issues on 787's built in Charleston

[A HERETIC I AM]

6. Yup. I hauled cars out of that plant.

As well as the Mercedes Plant in Vance, Alabama (on I-20, between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham).

I remember the incident in Chattanooga you mention. It wasn't just "republican politicians" lobbying against the vote, but the god damned Governor himself!

The same thing happened in Vance - the vote was very close, but they voted against having the UAW in by something like 52 to 48%

FWIW, the Chattanooga plant was building strictly Passats and the Vance plant was building their SUV's when I was hauling out of there (almost 6 years ago now! Whew...time flies!). The Chattanooga property had room enough for another assembly hall and they were doing site prep work to build one the last time I was in there.
