Or did Canada offer Toyota a bigger bribe?

More like Toyota is getting fed up with the UAW screwing with their NUMMI plant in California.

It's not really that surpising.

I'm sure that didn't help. But I'm still betting on the bigger bribe :)

...Nissan and Honda have encountered difficulties getting new plants up to full production in recent years in Mississippi and Alabama due to an untrained - and often illiterate - workforce. In Alabama, trainers had to use "pictorials" to teach some illiterate workers how to use high-tech plant equipment.

Oh, Lord.

I hope that the "too illiterate" Americans have enough sense NOT to buy a Toyota vehicle.

"The educational level and the skill level of the people down there is so much lower than it is in Ontario," Fedchun said.

...and on another thread; American teachers are mewling for a generous salary increase.

Remember, these plants are opening up in the middle of *nowhere* in these states. The population is decidedly rural and many people in the area drop out at the 6th grade or earlier.

They would have the same difficulty if they set up in downtown Detroit. The local workforce *is* illiterate.

From my limited experience with our Canadian operations – Canada has *much* more liberal labor laws than the U.S. I personally wouldn’t think you’d run to Canada for that reason.

Too illiterate? Canada must have more literate illegal aliens.

How the hell can you blame Toyota ? These " illiterate " Americans could get their shi- together if they had the desire/ambition . Even dyslexics can get help for chrissakes .

The will find out the CAW (Canadian Auto Workers Union) is more corrupt and thug filled than the UAW.

Your average red neck, hip-hop, Latino American worker.

Conversely, as a literate American I have no problem with buying a Toyota.

Toyota doesn't hire 'illiterate' workers. They are very demanding and selective. I imagine the same is true for Honda. What a load of Canadian crap.

Yes, but when Toyota got the NUMMI plant from GM, the UAW was already there. Want to bet that the CAW isn't in this plant? (Yet.)
