I find this interesting because I worked at the Corning plant in Midland in 2001 after I graduated college and we all had to take “union awareness training.” Basically taught us if we see evidence of union talk in the plant, report it. The Wilmington plant was unionized and the company was determined to keep the union out of the Midland plant.
But when the economy tanked after 9/11 they closed down our plant, not the union plant.

I've always been of the mindset if you can't negotiate for yourself, do better. I don't think unions are inherently bad, but its more common than not that they go downhill and just become a tumor. I've seen it go both ways.
 
My Tesla "died". Now I need to virtue signal or cash flash with a new one.
while saving the planet by paying for the production of another giant lithium battery that is recharged by fossil fuels.

Wilmington is still the only plant with a Union. There are occasionally talks of them in other plants, but they never get the interest. The Wilmington plant is also the original fiber plant, and the basis of development. The Midland plant only made/makes 1-2 products out of the dozens that are produced in Wilmington. Midland was built for capacity expansion. That plant was only closed for a few years, and has gone through multiple expansions in the last decade.
Interesting that they would protest at the Charlotte office, as the CEO might be there once a year at best. They need to go to NY if they want him to see them.
