How about that? Growing amity between labor and management is putting the shoe on the other foot.

CEO Kousay Said has no qualms about ZeroBase Energy LLC being a union shop. He sees it as the key to a highly trained workforce.

"I've had advanced discussions with the UAW. I'm very interested in having a union shop," said Said. "We're going to have a run rate of 1,000 units a year by the end of this year, and the best way to do that is to have a highly trained workforce."

"Our strategy for production needs an automotive discipline. We don't need to educate that workforce. They can bring a lot of value to a production line. The union now is very interested in new ways of engaging management. This will yield benefits for both of us. I'm very excited about it," he said.
