Why is Michigan’s car industry struggling but Alabama’s is thriving? How is the “Yellowhammer State” successfully courting companies like Honda, Toyota Motor Corp. and Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz?
Steve Sewell, executive vice president for the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama, said availability of an educated work force is the top concern for such companies, but Alabama’s status as a right-to-work state is often touted. In right-to-work states, joining a union cannot be a condition of employment.
“Right-to-work can be an advantage if a company wants to have a direct relationship with its employees, without a third party,” he said.
The difference was profiled in the Detroit News.
