Wasn’t the UAW responsible for why the PA VW plant tanked back in the 80s?

VW didn’t go far enough south. TN still has braindead drone auto workers courtesy of the now-dead Saturn plant.

Yes, the UAW was a big part of the problem.

Too bad VW didn't learn their lesson.

I’m pretty certain a good number of the VW Chattanooga workers came over from the Ford Nashville plant during the 2008/9 period.

Would be surprised if the UAW didn’t move over organizers during that time frame also.

Senator Corker is pulling no punches on this issue:
