It will be interesting when the UAW gets "card check" certification at Japanese transplant assembly plants. I wonder if the Japanese will play ball with the UAW or will they just close up shop and go back to Japan. With the exception of the Toyota engine plant in Buffalo WV, all Japanese plants in the US are just assembly plants. Nothing but a conveyor and a paint shop. They could shut them down and all the equipment moved within 90 days.

I know VW will not work with the UAW. They got burned in Westmoreland, PA back in the 70s.
