Lest they forget: About 20 years ago, VW opened a brand new assembly plant in Pennsylvania. 100% UAW closed shop. IN the 7 years it was open, there were SIX strikes. VWS finally shut it down.i guess their corporate memory has Alzheimer's

In the big 3, which are closed shops, the workers all pay union dues. As part of the contract, the big three pay into the UAW pension and health care funds..( which are in big trouble, but that's another story) If the UAW had won in Tenn, would those workers who chose to be represented by the union now have been covered by the union plans, instead of what VW is now providing?

Not right away, but remember how the first VW plant in Penn. was sacrificed to the great cry of “PARITY!!!”, a couple of months after the UAW came in.
