So, have they met the UAW? They are not like German unions.
You took the words right out of my thoughts.
I’ve thought about looking at VWs, but not not
if the dumkopfs knock boots with UAW goons.

About seven years ago, my wife was determined to buy a Audi TT (we actually in Germany). We made the deal and were to go down to the factory to pick it up. Part of the deal was a tour of the factory. The guide was a mid-50’s gentleman, a worker off the line.
Most of the workers hired, as we found out....were individuals who’d done the apprentice program (15-to-16 years old) and gradually moved up to technician. The older guys from the 1960s/1970s were a fairly tough crowd and demanded respect for the job, the craft, and being absolutely correct when the car left the line. You could tell...guys were proud to say they worked for Audi, and didn’t want a substandard product.
The union in Germany works hand-in-hand with the company. They know how the profits slide if you decide to screw over the company. Drunks and dopers? I think your co-workers would quickly tell you to clean up your act...get treatment...or move on.
The car we picked up? You can go over it with list and look for faults...but you won’t find any. Other than a light bulb, there’s been nothing to fail on this seven-year-old car. I’ve yet to replace the battery. The German union might view union participation as a positive, like in their case. But you can’t find an American-produced car in the same quality.
