That was a strange case. From what I understand, Volkswagen actually wanted the union because they apparently figured it was easier to run a union plant when all their plants in Germany are unionized. It was the state government in Tennessee that mounted a campaign to keep the workers from joining a union.

“From what I understand, Volkswagen actually wanted the union because they apparently figured it was easier to run a union plant when all their plants in Germany are unionized.”

Nope. The VW UNIONS in Germany wanted unions in the USA plants because they knew that VW would be tempted move all their plants to America.

The Company, VW, is very happy with non-union USA plants.
