When you read the whole article it seems that VW was more than accommodating to the UAW. Workers weighed the facts and turned down the union.

It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.

While it looks like VW and the workers "played fair", that can't be said for Tennessee Republicans.

Threatening workers to vote either way is a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. I would think that there might be a good chance at a re-vote.
