And perhaps workers didn’t like the fact that union dues would be taken from their pay. I don’t know how much the union dues would have been, but, if they were satisfied with their pay and benefits already, any amount of union dues would be money they would resent being taken from them.

I've read somewhere that it would be $650.00 per month to start.

Wow, 650 per month for union dues????

So, if they were already satisfied with pay and benefits, these guys had to think about what a union would do for them? And then thinking about so much in union dues to pay? Then it seems clear why they voted down the union.

I heard that these guys at VW already earn more than their counterparts at union auto plants. I’m sure they had to wonder what additional benefit they would get from a union.
