If the Union is voted in, VW will have the same problems as Boeing.

But Friday night, employees won by a landslide with the official National Labor Relations Board results reporting 2,628-985 votes for union representation.

Did the NLRB lie...?

Sales figures may suck, but did the margins?

That plant, if it’s the one I’m thinking of, has received at least $800 mill in subsidies.

That might take a lot of the sting out of the unionization, eh?

And, since money is fungible, it doesn’t really need to be the same plant now that I think about it...

I hope VW shuts it down, and moves to Texas or S. Carolina. The money-laundering/forced support for the Deep State has driven manufacturing out of the former USA, AND, is the reason for the Cheap Labor Express.

Just like the Global Warming Scam, the One World Government owners FORCE the Agenda, to extract money from productive people (via Taxes and price-setting), to sell their wares and eliminate competition (through Regulations).

However, VW is a failed corporation that is teetering on the edge of being.

This action might just end the teetering.

WV is an amalgamation of world auto company losers

The unions used to be a bulwark against communism. Especially the Teamsters who were infiltrated by the Mob who hated commies even more.

There’s East Tennessee, there’s Middle Tennessee, and there’s West Tennessee. The majority of true conservative Patriots live in the mountainous East Tennessee; and “Never the Twain Shall Meet!”
