The Westmoreland plant had union issues from the start (close to Pittsburgh...). VW never learns as they were inviting the UAW into their plant in Chattanooga. I am not sure of the current status of the VW plant.
Also, I think Toyota built a large plant in Princeton, Indiana.
The fact is if Baltimore was still a vibrant steel, ship and car producer it would not be the 3rd world hell hole it’s become. You can’t blame that on Democrats.
