Enjoy it while you can UAW folks. The general car buying public can barely afford the ICE powered crap you make now, not to mention the even less affordable and unfit for purpose EV’s. The automakers are pretty well down the road of an industry doom loop. I give it maybe 5 years before one or more of the majors goes under. Depending on which political party is in power they may get bailed out or maybe not. Either way a lot of UAW workers are going to be out of a job but by God, we showed those greedy CEO’s and shareholders who was boss. For a little while anyway.

One of the interesting dynamics here is that Tennessee is still a “right to work” state — which presumably means that neither the UAW nor VW can compel any of the Chattanooga workers to join the union.

I bring this up because I still remember the media fanfare a couple of years ago when a Starbucks store had the company’s first successful union drive. Within 18 months rhe employees were trying to decertify their union — because they were getting paid LESS than their counterparts at non-union locations.
