Is BMW a Union Buster?

Is luxury automaker BMW trying to bust a union in California? It sure looks that way, judging from a letter that Sen. Barbara Boxer sent to BMW North America CEO Jim O'Donnell, asking him to reconsider a poorly thought-out plan to fire BMW's nearly 100 Ontario, Calif., employees later this summer and immediately re-open the facility the very next day with a cheaper, inexperienced workforce. U.S. Rep. Joe Baca, a fellow Democrat who represents California's 43rd District, sent a similar letter to BMW as well.
