The unideologued experience of your own family's benefitting from BMW's growth that you presented in your earlier post, makes too much economic sense, for the union at any cost and if its not government doing it it must be evil crowd.
Glad BMW did it right now! Really!

So evil and not in the best interest of the employee at all...
These jobs pay around $17-18 per hour plus benefits, I don't call that "cheap" labor, especially for doing factory work.
Sure, that's less than the northern union states, but its a choice of slightly lower pay, or no job at all. Most of these southern auto plants also have thousands of applications from people up north looking for work.
It's a nice production facility. This expansion is great news. Thier new IPP building was built with future expansions in mind, so another 300 jobs will start thru the temp service at a rate of at least 15 an hour. One thing to remember is that South Carolina cost of living is far cheaper than those northern union States with thier over priced gas, fuel, homes, utilities, and food.
100% of all BMW vehicles and BMW owned company products (Mini cooper, for example) come thru the Spartanburg plant facility. Thier test grounds/ performance center is second to none!

I don't work for BMW, but same thing I work for Boeing, expanded production to South Carolina, and has invested over $1 billion dollars in facilities and supplying jobs.
We just build different things. But Obama's appointed administration filed a lawsuit to close down my plant, that plans to have 5,000 employees.
Its been settled, unions were starting to play their puppet games.

The Hyundai plant here in Alabama is nice too, and it's HUGE. I'll admit I'm not a Hyundai fan (yet), but I hope they do well to provide jobs for the people of my state.

Cheaper than the Motherland back in the EU. That is for certain.
As I think was alluded to, I wonder if the Germans are picking over their jobs and 35-hour weeks leaving home...or if BMW profits were leaving the country. Heck, Americans gripe over Asian automaker profits when the Big 3 weren't making a dime in the black for quite some time...priorities, I reckon.
