BMW has done this for years (Spartansburg, SC). Interestingly, IG Metall (the German equivalent of the UAW (only smarter)), does not protest. They figure that as long as the company stays profitable by making money in foreign markets, they will retain their jobs with a profitable company in der Vaterland.
BTW, some call centers are being opened by Indian entrepreneurs in the US as labor is getting cheaper here than in Bangalore.
What goes around comes around. I have no issue with the Germans coming here and opening up a non-union shop. It beats the hell out of no shop at all.
