So they should build their factories in a country where, the moment they get near an important deadline, the unions ask for more money, and threaten strike action.
Like BA staff choosing holiday weekends to hold strikes, tube workers, and others, threatening to go on strike during the Olympics, unless they get a bonus, for doing the same job as they do now!
I'm sorry, but that's not negotiation, that's bully boy tactics, and it is one of the many things that have disillusioned me, and many others, about the aims and ethics of trade unionism.
It seems such a good idea most of the time, then they employ the sort of repressive tactics that they moan about the employers using.
