Kinkisharyo International LLC has scrapped plans to build a rail car manufacturing plant in Palmdale following a labor dispute and will instead look outside California to locate the facility.
The Japanese company made the decision after failing to reach an agreement with Antelope Valley Residents for Responsible Development, a labor-supported group that objected to the plant citing environmental reasons.
The group, which includes members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local No. 11, in Pasadena, also objected to a backup plan by Kinkisharyo to build the cars in leased space from Los Angeles World Airports in Palmdale.

Smooth move.
Shut down the whole town. That will really help the environment.
Mistake was trying to locate it in California in the first place.
The appeal that has disrupted plans for the plant came about after IBEW Local No. 11 and Kinkisharyo could not agree on using card check at the proposed facility. Card check is a process by which a workplace can unionize if 50 percent or more of workers sign cards stating they want to be represented for collective bargaining.

We need some unWanted posters.
Unions are job killers.
You are a racist!

You’re an embarrassment to this Forum. At least tone down your rhetoric.
Yes, and it should be blatantly clear to union members since unions support cheap labor flowing over the border.
I hate to be this base about it, but honestly union members are selling out their own nation, due to the perception they’re going to get a perk for doing it.

Not only their own nation, but all of their union workers too. Scum.
Essentially yes. I agree.
Kinkisharyo should just move to Texas. Our local transit authorities buy their products and there’s plenty of room to build rail cars here.
