[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 515320, member: 18471"] Hyundai is a huge manufacturing company in Korea, and I'm sure they're unionized there. Here in the US they are just another example of a foreign firm that's started a manufacturing plant here in the US in a "right to work" state and they will probably do all they can to keep the unions out. The "big threes" troubles cannot be blamed entirely on unions. They've been mismanaged for years, the cars they made have more customer satisfaction problems, than the imports (both when they were imported and made here). How many people do you know that bought an American car and had problems vs buying an import and having none. After spending $thousands and having a bad experience, you aren't gonna spend thousands for another one. You'll buy something known to be more reliable next time. UPS and Fedex are in a different type of business we don't manufacturer anything, we provide a service. If we provide better service than Fedex we'll keep more business from them. If people have a bad service experience with UPS they'll go to Fedex till they have a bad service experience from them. Then they'll come back to UPS. At the consumer level Fedex isn't that much cheaper than UPS, I'm sure large volume shippers get a discount the consumer doesn't get. That's not to say Fedex isn't a concern, but it's isn't an overnight threat. Remember DHL? They tried to get into the US and look what happened to them. I'm sure Fedex is much more concerned about the NLRA than trying to take over from UPS. [/QUOTE]
