Actually, the Union in Germany was quite vocal about wanting this plant to be unionized, and VW doesn’t seem to have a problem with it.
VW will not be closing this plant anytime soon, but once they are reminded how the UAW rolls, they may eventually regret this decision to welcome the union into their plant.
I expect that the workers will likely vote to unionize, or else there probably wouldn’t have been a vote held in the first place.
It took 10 yrs for the UAW to kill the first UAW plant in Pennsylvania. Suffocation is a slow process.
One thing nobody has mentioned is that Tenn is RTW.
Doesn’t that mean you don’t have to pay dues if you don’t want to?
This is all true. But I don’t think any of the other plants in the south want the UAW running them.
