According to The Wall Street Journal the Japanese car company [Honda] recently built a plant in Indiana, but was only willing to hire employees from counties that outside the ones where "most of the state's thousands of unionized laid-off auto workers" were located.

That's news to me, although the article was over a year old. Sounds like grounds for some sort of red-lining lawsuit for tacit racial discrimination. That's different than simply building in Indiana instead of Ohio.

That would be like IBM only hiring from Suffolk and Westchester counties. NYC zipcode and you're a discard.
