Nissan North America's Smyrna and Canton facilities are tasked with the bulk of production of Nissan's passenger sedans and SUV models. These models include everything from the Altima and Maxima sedans, to the remainder of Nissan's Truck and SUV lines which include the Titan, Frontier, Armada and Xterra. In addition to these, the Nissan Quest mini-van is also manufactured in the Canton Mississippi plant.
Given current sales figures, if you drive a new Nissan, chances are your car was like built right here in the heart of America.

You are missing the point. Are they partially or in any way made somewhere down the line by UAW members?

Neither my neighbors or I ship much of anything. We do get lots of stuff shipped to us though. The majority of it comes FedEx Ground or USPS. As with 99.99% of the rest of the world we don't give a crap who brings it (nor do we have any choice usually)---as long as its prompt and not damaged. My days of being a brand loyalty whore are long gone. (except maybe Heinz Ketchup---it has to be Heinz).

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
So support 10 union workers or 100 non union American workers?

If picking between a union made car, and a non union made car, I choose the union made vehicle.

I'm forming a slate for the delegates election and we're calling it the "None Of The Above Slate", because it's becoming apparent that there is nobody worth voting for in the upcoming General Election.
We're going to go and vote on any proposed bylaw amendments and won't be wearing any vest, while abstaining from voting for any candidate.

I'm not 100% certain but I don't think the Smyrna plant is UAW. I'm sure if the UAW offers a compelling reason for the workers to join the union, they will.
Regardless, all of the employees there are American workers and I'll always be in favor of American jobs vs. overseas jobs, whether or not they belong to a union. Again, if the workers are non-union and feel the UAW (or any union) offers a better and more secure future, it's their right to unionize and they should pursue that option - I'm sure the UAW would love to have them on board and is (or will) putting forth the appropriate efforts to help them.

Not in Tennessee. I remember the Chattanooga plant, when they had their vote, Tennessee pressured them into a no vote.

Yep. They said they would not build in the USA again unless it was already known it would be union
