Looks like this is the start of stopping run away company's going to the right to work (for less) states


The United Auto Workers union has gained a significant first victory at a foreign-owned automaker in the South, easily winning a vote by skilled-trades workers at Volkswagen's lone U.S. factory to have the union negotiate their collective bargaining agreements.

The workers who repair and maintain machinery and robots at the German automaker's plant in Chattanooga voted 108-44 over two days ending Friday for UAW representation.

They divided 200 maintenance guys from the 1,000 of workers ..not a good idea, read VW is protesting, the company wanted them all to be in a European type Union.

Hopefully new unions are smarter and don't price themselves into bankruptcy. But ya never know. They may try and bully the germans rather than what will keep the company viable for many many years.

What makes you think they should be there for the company? A smart worker is there for himself. He works hard for himself, not for the company. That's all he has. A good worker owes the company zero..hear me...zero loyalty.

Just take a look at Detroit, and even myopic liberals should be able to see what happens when unions run the workforce.
If this is the start of the UAW taking over the plants in the south, eventually the manufacturers will just keep moving south.
