Shouldn't call them hicks.

It was in Oak Ridge, Tennessee where the Atomic Bombs used on Japan were built for the most part.

We used those A-Bombs not because they were nessecesary, but for punishment. It was to send the message to Japan to never think again of envading this country because next time it will be 15 or 20 :)

BTW, it was Democrats FDR and Truman that funded the Manhattan Project and used the devices.

Toyota should leave some rolls of toilet paper in front of the building for them to write their suggestions on.

Afterwards, they could collect them and put them in the restroom stalls for "review".

Toyota should have labor relations and process improvement, but forming a union is a little bit of a stretch. Toyota isn't profitable because it treats it's employee's bad, but because of focus on average products that people like and are of a high quality for the price. I know these people that want to unionize think they are doing the right thing, but I really think a better approach is aligning with Toyota's attitude and offer suggestions for improvements and not demands for what they want to change. A good company will always consider all options for improving the work environ.

I just hope that with the six or seven people who show up you can get a full set of teeth.

Kentucky is a very union state. Education lags behind the rest of the country and most people that work in an assembly plant no matter where it is located are usually not rocket scientists. I would say everything is still on the table not the receptionist's desk.
