Like Boeing, Airbus doesn't wants unions at its new plant in the South

Airbus workers will start loading aircraft parts into the French company's new Mobile, Alabama A320 jetliner factory in late June, and top executives would prefer those workers remain non-union.

That preference is clear from speaking with Airbus spokeswoman Kristi Tucker, whose comments sound like she’s reading off a script similar to the one used by her Boeing (NYSE: BA) counterparts.

“Our employees have ability to unionize if they wish to,” Tucker said. “We don’t think they need to.”

they've been without safe, clean, decent paying jobs for so long, they'll bow down to anyone. That's exactly why these plants are locating in the south.
Maybe that's one reason for racism and bigotry. If you don't have the courage to stand up for your own rights, it feels good to have someone else to look down on.
