I emailed the author asking for follow-up: was Michigan given a shot at bidding for all this stuff, or did Ford decide from the outset to build the plants down there? The workers will have the opportunity to join the UAW. I bet one of the reasons Ford is building in KY/TN [[aside from the usual gazillions in govt handouts) is that they're hoping the workers will reject the union, and they know the governments down there will do all they can to ensure that outcome.
