Then you will limit the manufacturer to only sell in their market. But you know this already...This is what most people miss with celebrating union 'wins' They are almost always short term wins followed by mass labor cuts overall. Workers get a few more dollars now followed by no dollars at all in a few years. The Suits win.
Personally, I don't think vehicles made outside should be allowed to be shipped in without massive add-on taxes designed to punish the companies for moving production off shore. If the numbers show a $10,000 per vehicle savings over what it would cost to build here, impose a $20,000 per vehicle import fee.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's business economists think President Donald Trump's trade war with China will contribute to a sharp slowdown in economic growth this year and next, raising concerns about a possible recession starting late next year.
The latest survey by a panel of 51 forecasters with the National Association for Business Economics shows they expect growth, as measured by the gross domestic product, to slow to 2.3% this year from 2.9% in 2018. The new forecast marks a downgrade from the 2.6% estimate for 2019 economic growth that the NABE panel had made in June.
For 2020, the forecasters expect GDP growth to fall to 1.8%. They see little likelihood of a recession over the next 12 months but expect the risk to increase by late next year.
Gregory Daco, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, said the forecasting panel turned more pessimistic over the summer, with 80% of the economists now saying the risks are pointed to the downside.
"The rise in protectionism, pervasive trade policy uncertainty and slower global growth are considered key downside risks," Daco said.
