Hyundai has a plant in Alabama.
I think they’re in CA, as well.
If your cousin was UAW, he’s gonna have some difficulty.
Southern “import” plants aren’t too keen on former UAW personnel.
Too much baggage and they know why The Big Three are in dire straits.
UAW means do not hire. If I had ever worked in a unionized shop I'd blank that out of my resume.
Even though the Korean carmakers don't have union problems in the USA, they do have union issues in the old country. The Chosun Ilbo, one of Korea's oldest papers wrote an editorial shortly before or after Obama took office warning Hyundai in particular that if they don't get a handle on their own union that they could repeat GM's history in another 30 years. I hope Hyundai took them seriously.
