The United Auto Workers union claimed victory in a closely watched election to represent 4,300 hourly workers at Volkswagen’s plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee late Friday night, a major breakthrough in its effort to organize workers at non-union auto plants nationwide.
Well I guess you have zero knowledge of the unionization effort in Chattanooga. VW didn’t attempt to “bust” the unionization. How do I know? I know several employees of this very facility personally.
No, they aren’t. The union busting was being attempted by TN lawmakers.
Could be that they feared it spreading to other manufacturers, too and establishing a stronger union culture in the us?
If that’s your takeaway, you have zero knowledge of German automakers history with regard to labor in markets like the US.
