I wonder how the UAW can unionize an entire plant in a “right-to-work” state like, say, Tennessee. I saw that VW just voted for the union in my area. Last time the UAW got hold of VW, they closed their plant a couple of years later.
Closed shop unions are a cancer.
In a right to work state job openings cannot be available only to union members. Now that the VW plant has voted for a union an employee cannot be forced to join the union and if they chose not to join the union they cannot be fired or treated differently than than union members.
How this works out for the VW plant is worth watching. Unions are parasitic cancers and would no doubt play dirty with those who chose not to join. Labor lawyers are seeing dollar signs due to this IMO.
