Tennessee Volkswagen Plant Votes to Unionize, the First in the South in Decades
from Out of Order · host Ben Maher and Anthony Buono
United Auto Workers won a huge battle to unionize a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee last week. This is a big f*cking deal, as it's the first plant by a foreign company to ever be unionized in the South, and the vote wasn't even close. Republican governors released a statement protesting against unionization of the plants, but it won't stop the UAW from rolling into other southern factories fighting for greater worker power.
