I have a weird feeling about this. If a union can complain successfully about a business moving production out of state, can the *state* complain the same way, about the loss of tax revenue? We’ve been bleeding employers here in California for the last decade or two, and I’ve often said that the dream of state lawmakers here is a tax on the revenue of businesses that *used* to be in California, and moved elsewhere. If they could tax businesses in other states, because they moved out of ours, they’d be in good shape. And trust me, they’d like to.
