Well Patriot, you must have been listening to the news. A while back there was a report on a program within McDonald's that does just that. The customer orders at the speaker and the person taking the order is in a central location, a communications center. This order is then relayed to the restaurant via phone line. At the time of the news story the location of the communication center was in the same city as the restaurant but with the new lines of communicating who's to say that your example can't happen. On the subject of the drastic cuts at CTNA, this goes beyond the local economy and union-nonunion question. I firmly believe that CTNA, while not embracing a union, wouldn't have minded a pro vote. They would have, at least, had a "boogy man" to blame for the restructuring. With the recent cuts in benefits and wages, this almost assures a pro vote in the future. Although I have been a union backer for my entire life, and remain so, I don't think the Steel Workers can help the employees now. The time for help is past. Within the next few years the plant will move to Brazil and there's nothing that can be done about it. Again, we are in a global economy and the concerns of a plant in the midwest are at the bottom of the list in the scheme of things. At this time most of the autos in the world aren't manufactured in the US. There is Toyota, Hundai, Honda, Mercedes and other off shore plants and it is just as profitable, or more so, to ship car parts, including tires, from foreign countries as it is from America. Plus there is the added incentive of cheaper labor, less restrictive import-export laws, safety standards and other government regulations. The local union bashers such as The Chamber of Commerce laud the new plan as good, in the end, for the local economy. I, for one, feel that this is a tremendous hit to the working of the area and we will regret the actions of the past week. 60 to 70 million dollars in upgrading the local plant? I say show us the money. And even if this happens, all the new machinery can be moved, just as we saw with the installation of the machines from Mayfield, Kentucky.
