Tennessee VW workers want to unionize; VW is fine with that; Gov. Haslam isn't

It sounds like the employer is pushing for this, for whatever reason.

Most likely reason is to have labor peace in their other plants.  Rather than letting themselves being pitted against each other, European workers have a better track record on colluding for their common interests than American workers do.

I love Haslam, but I don't agree with it. I don't really see the point either. Tennessee is a right to work state, in the south, and unions are practically dead. What's the point of making a stand on a plant level union?

If workers start to see union membership in their own interests, it repudiates a lot of Republican ideology and is a threat to the business interests they generally represent.
