I think UAW is gonna get spanked, like they do at Nissan every few years. Chattanooga is a red part of a red state. And the first time some union goon makes a veiled threat he might end up spitting teeth.
Think about this... you know how ornery Texans can be? It took some Tennesseans looking for a fight to make Texas.

That Mitsubishi plant hardly produces anything any more. I think they are down to a shift or maybe 2. Huge parking lots meant to hold new cars sit empty. |

Give me a small bus fleet and a day, I'll solve this.
Round up some influential VW employees and take them up to the barely-breathing (and only recently re-opened at all) UAW GM plant in Spring Hill. Then swing over to Smyrna and show them the Nissan plant that's busier than a three-peckered goat and expanding. On the way back to Chattanooga they can swing buy the old union Samsonite plant in Murfreesboro (closed) and the old union Eaton transmission plant in Shelbyville (abandoned). |

My dad owned a window washing company in Indianapolis back in the '70s. 2 guys wanted to bring in a union. Dad had a meeting at the beginning of work one day, "Want a union, find someplace else to do it. Company is being sold. You are all out of jobs this Friday"
That ended union talk. |

The place I work had some guys try to start a union at work one time. They were no call no shows and no one ever knows what happened to them. This was back in the 80s. No one has ever tried to start a union there again.
Word on the street is the boss had some guys "talk" to them and "convinced" them to move along. |

Depends on how strict your management is.
If they're pushing Union and management doesn't want it - just expect for everyone to get written up a whole lot. There might be some collateral damage, but there are ways to fire everyone legally. |

German auto labor unions are quite different, they actually have a guy sitting on the board of the company and he is there to ensure that the union does its best to help the company. Cooperative instead of adversary attitude, American union workers live in a different galaxy when it comes to that.
