Modern plants use a business model that can not be allowed by the unions. Different companies bid for various jobs on the lines. So, 10 companies might produce different subcomponents on the same production lines. That’s how it is done in other countries and it is much more efficient that the methods used by union plants in the US.
You wish to be unemployed and unemployable join a worker union.
There is an excellent book on the history of the Baldwin Locomotive works that describes a method in the early days of the company that the unorganized craft labor would bid on assembly and manufacturing tasks... if I recall, it weighed productivity, quality, and the cost of the contract.
It was rather fascinating how much power and opportunity an individual Craftsman had before organized labor came along.
The effort is being supported by Volkswagen itself.The socialist party in Germany solicited labor and other type of unions This effort was led by Willy Brandt mayor of Berlin who btw worked in Detroit during the WWII and ulitmately became Chancellor. Don’t forget how and who created the original Volkswagen Getselschaft. Most of those EU unions work with the pols in power and are as corrupt and as bad or worse as our SEIU. If I had VW stock I’d be screanming dumkoffs Die VS is nicht Deutchland.
