[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 988449, member: 22880"] Two factors... First, to get out of states where unions have a presence. Manufacturing companies which only need a footprint in a handful of states, ARE making efforts to relocate out of non right-to-work states, to potentially utilize a pool of non-unionized labor in RTW states (Boeing is a key example). They OPERATE identically (Boeing isn't going to change how they manufacture an aircraft in South Carolina, as opposed to Washington state), the COST structure to operate in a RTW state is usually lower - thus the rationale to relocate. Express, is a service company that has a presence in all 50 states - therefore its business operations cannot be shifted to states with preferable business conditions. Express operates identically in all 50 states (with minor variations to account for individual state labor law). What Express is doing right no has NOTHING to do with RTW status, and EVERYTHING to do with restructuring itself and taking advantage of its RLA status to prevent any unionization attempt whatsoever. The thread started off suggesting that what is going on within Express has something to do with a poster being within a right-to-work state, not the case. Second, there is a direct correlation between corporate tax rates in RTW states, compared to corporate tax rates in non-RTW states. States with RTW laws aren't just more business friendly due to the labor laws, they are more friendly due to corporate taxation practices. These states are more willing to offer incentives to corporations to relocate (forbearance of taxes, incentives to build and providing of other financial incentives to expand). [/QUOTE]
