Members of the National Right to Work Foundation believe two German labor groups have failed to completely disclose their full level of involvement in the United Auto Workers’ attempts to set up shop in Chattanooga.
As previously reported, the UAW wants to formally establish itself at Chattanooga’s Volkswagen plant.
The UAW’s attempts have so far been unsuccessful. VW workers, by a tally of 712-626, for instance, voted in February not to join the UAW.
Members of the NRTW represent an unspecified number of VW workers who oppose the union.
They say that VW’s Global Works Council and IG Metall, a German autoworker union, prominently supported the UAW’s organizing drive — except for one key area.
“Neither organization divulged the extent of their involvement in Chattanooga to the Department of Labor, despite the fact that their high-profile support for the UAW should have triggered disclosure requirements,”

Foundation staff attorneys hope to determine if the Department of Labor is actively assisting these organizations in their efforts to unionize VW’s Chattanooga facilities,

German unions and corporate laws in Germany are much different, to the point that VW will be greatly challenged to continue operating a plant in the US that does not have a union.
European socialists were excited when Patco (air controller union) went on strike in the 1980s. They seriously believed Reagan would have no choice but to capitulate.
When Reagan fired all the striking unionists he literally saved the nation from the labor union take over.

Does it include a throaty engine rumble piped in through the stereo speakers?
This was a completely open “secret” at the time as I recall.
That said, just because something is illegal or improper means nothing.
Move along now. Thank you for your cooperation.
Somehow that hasn't stopped companies from being unionized, and I do mean 100% unionized.
e.g., GM's Saturn plant, Peterbilt's (now closed) Madison plant, and others.
Doesn't do you much good to avoid union dues if you come out to the parking lot and find you have 4 flat tires every day...
