Won’t happen.

Back in Germany, their unions have seats on the board, by law. They don’t like this development and are fighting any potential Chattanooga expansion.

VW does not need the union headache at all its other plants.

I think you're right. And VW sales figures are nothing to brag about either.

Eurpeans wanted PATCO to win back in the 80’s. When Reagan broke them it was not just union disbelief here but shock over in Europe.

VW controls their union.
Unions here just glom on to pension funds to push cronyism and who knows what else.
