Tennessee, a state unabashedly hostile to union workers is stunned.
The workers at the massive VW auto assembly plant in Chattanooga voted to unionize under the United Auto Workers (UAW) last Friday.
A Union was voted down at the same plant in 2014 and 2019, but workers noticed that the UAW was securing contracts with larger pay raises and better working conditions.
Republican governors are scared shitless that this might be the first "domino" in the Deep South. In May, workers at the yuuuuge Mercedes Benz plant in Alabama will vote on unionization, and preliminary estimates make prospects look very good. Needless to say, Alabama Governon Meemaw is none too pleased.
Big unions south of the Mason-Dixon line! I do declare!
