Tony as I read that situation....the UAW was the one who tried to make the move on that VW plant.
VW said that they did not object. They didn't want to fight with the union. So the workers were given a vote (instead of being FORCED to pay union dues like some places....you know, Detroit).
VW did NOT go asking the union to "please come in and take money from our workers to join your union" like you are insinuating.
Instead they gave the UAW enough rope to hang itself.
Is VW anti-union? No. Neither are any of the car companies that I know of.
But what I'm pointing out is that the CURRENT UAW is a huge drain on auto makers and their employees.
VW is paying high wages and great benefits to those workers and also helping a hurting economy in that area.
The union wanted a piece of that pie. They didn't get it. End of story.
Bottom line is that VW felt that they could manufacture cars in that area more profitably than doing it in Mexico or China. And that's just ONE town it's happening in.
This is GOOD news. Why are we arguing about it? lol
