It was closer than I would have thought.
VW played neutral. Yeah. We'll expand IF you don't go union.
That's pretty neutral.
As a long time union member, a union is not needed when management is reasonable and fair.
I'd rather work for a decent non union company than a crappy union company.
And I do.
I just turned down the opportunity to be put on a nationwide hiring list of the biggest union car hauler in the country.
Paying about $350 per week into the pension plan per driver. And top medical.
Happy right where I'm at.
If I was younger I might look at things differently.

Good deal for VW....by working with the union, it showed its record for employee treatment stood on its own .....and employees had little to gain by going union, except to pay too high union dues. it makes no sense to give the union the 50 bucks a month and then fight the company just to break even....
what were expecting?.....landslide which way?
Because VW is labor-friendly in Germany, and they let the UAW right into the plant to campaign, virtually endorsing the union. Something like 80% of VW's board in Germany have labor ties. The 'if you don't go union we'll expand' thing never happened, and is an invention of the union, which backfired.
It was TN, more like a sinkhole.
Although the company did not say this, it is not really an invention of the union.
This was a comment made be U.S. Sen Bob Corker, and could be reason to set aside the vote and a re-vote ordered by the NLRB.

Since we have a place in TN, I think this may fit their thinking.

I expected more non-union votes.
Modern union companies can be productive and profitable.
The union, which people have to understand is a business, not a human rights organization, is often pretty reasonable and co-operative.
Hard to be in the older UAW plants where generation after generation has grown up with bad, anti-productive, ideas. And where there's hostility in the work place.
You don't get much more productive than a UPS man.
They are richly rewarded.
They work very hard.
In 1996 my Roadway bid paid me $1400 per week. Basically 6 days one week, 4 days the next week. We worked hard.
Remember Tn is a swing state now.....big cities are generally liberal leaning....
Breathing polluted air causes that. Kills active thinking is does and lends one to dependence.
