Yet he has not achieved his most important goal: organizing an Asian or German assembly plant in the Southeast U.S.
"Bob King has basically staked his legacy on organizing these international assembly plants," said Kristin Dziczek, director of the labor and industry group at the Center for Automotive Research. "Unless they unionize more of the automotive work force in the country, the UAW workers will become wage takers, not wage setters in this industry."
King, 67, is too old to run for a second term under the UAW's political bylaws and will retire next June.

Hardinge (HDNG) the Perfect Fit to the Investment Puzzle
Several years earlier I had started following the machine tool sector and I became quite familiar with Hardinge. Although I never invested in the stock (I had opted for Hurco), I had noted that Jeffrey Gendell had been purchasing shares the company. Hurco (HURC) had much higher margins and it was my belief that the superior quality of their computerized machine tools and their accompanying software were reflected in their earnings. Hurco also held a vastly superior balance sheet at the time I made my investment.
