TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US . The last quarter's results:
TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses.
Ford folks are still scratching their heads, and collecting bonuses.

Would that have anything to do with where the respective plants are located in the US? How many of Toyota's plants are located in states where they have laws AGAINST unions? I guess what I'm asking is what is the ratio of Unionized Ford factories vs. unionized Toyota factories?
