[Isn’t Tennessee a right to work state ?]
Yes, but “Right to Work” doesn’t ban unions it bans closed shops where employees are forced to pay union dues as a condition of employment. The GM/Saturn plant in Spring Hill is unionized. The difference between it and plants in some northern states is that employees do not have to join the union or pay dues.
I guess what I was thinking is, even if the UAW “organized” the VW plant, state law would prevent the union from forcing every worker to join and pay dues.
When the Auto Workers took their first shot at VW, I wondered if it was a worthwhile move...
