The hits just keep coming with the United Auto Workers.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the “increasingly bitter battle” over the UAW’s failed attempt to organize Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga “is complicating the German auto maker’s bid to get its U.S. operations back on track.”
Well, that’s certainly ironic given the company’s vocal support for the UAW and unionization.
Volkswagen, “suffering from declining sales and market share in the U.S.,” has been looking for a site to build their new sport-utility vehicle. Currently, two locations are in the running – Chattanooga and a new plant in Mexico.
The UAW’s actions are not only hurting the very workers they claim to want to be concerned with, but also the company they seek to organize risking American jobs.
All because labor bosses can’t accept the fact that workers in Chattanooga don’t want to be forcibly unionized. There is a silver lining, however. Perhaps, now that Volkswagen has seen how their involvement with the UAW is hurting their ability to grow in the U.S., they will reconsider and defend the vote by their workers rejecting the union.
