South Carolina is glad to have nonunion jobs from BMW, Michelin and Boeing, but dont expect any factories from Ford, General Motors, Chrysler or other companies with unionized workforces.
According to Gov. Nikki Haley, theyre not welcome.
Its not something we want to see happen, she told the Greenville News following an appearance at an automotive conference in downtown Greenville.
We discourage any companies that have unions from wanting to come to South Carolina because we dont want to taint the water.
State Sen. Vincent Sheheen, Haleys Democratic opponent in this years gubernatorial race, said he thinks South Carolina should remain a right-to-work state where workers are free to decide whether to join unions or not.
But I also think that if Ford Motor Co. wanted to bring 10,000 jobs to South Carolina, we would welcome them with open arms, Sheheen said.Haley said Wednesday that she discourages companies from building new facilities in South Carolina if they are planning to bring a union with them.

OP NOTE: Yeah...You sure wouldn't want to 'taint the water' with a good paying jobs, benefits, and more money to spend in your sad little State....goddamnit, Haley, you're a true idiot. I can speak on this at length, being a 30 year UAW retiree and shop steward.
