Re: Union production of hybrids?
I'm a Teamster who recently bought a Toyota Prius. I suppose I could have purchased a FEH instead but I would not be getting 55 MPG. Fuel efficiency and puting less carbon dioxide into the atmoshpere is more important to me than whether or not the car was union made. GM could have been ahead of Toyota in the hybrid market but they made a decision to build gas guzzlers.
If Toyota builds a hybrid plant in the US it will be non-union. If you care about saving union jobs then try voting for labor-friendly politicians. You can still be pro-union and drive a foreign-built hybrid but it would be wise if you don't park in any UAW union hall parking lots.
