“On behalf of Volkswagen Group of America, I want to thank all of our Chattanooga production and maintenance employees for their participation in this week's vote. They have spoken, and Volkswagen will respect the decision of the majority,” said Frank Fischer, CEO and Chairman of Volkswagen Chattanooga. “The election results remain to be certified by the NLRB,” Fischer, said.
“Our employees have not made a decision that they are against a works council. Throughout this process, we found great enthusiasm for the idea of an American-style works council both inside and outside our plant,” Fischer noted. “Our goal continues to be to determine the best method for establishing a works council in accordance with the requirements of U.S. labor law to meet VW America's production needs and serve our employees’ interests,” Fischer said.
Sebastian Patta, Vice President for Human Resources, said: “While there was intense outside interest in this election, our managers and employees inside the plant maintained high quality production and continued to work together in a calm and respectful manner.”
“Our commitment to Tennessee is a long term investment. We look forward to continuing to work with the State of Tennessee and the City of Chattanooga to support job creation, growth, and economic development today and into the future,” Fischer added.

the NLRB prohibits this due to fears of creating essentially illusory representation or an effective "company union"

this reminds me of the BLA member who was sentenced to life in prison in the 70s and said 'the government of the united states wont be around long enough to make me serve that' and he died of aids in the early 80s.

I would think yeah they did except what I've read seems to indicate that VW was OK with the union for a number of reasons and also really wanted to preserve the appearance of neutrality, so maybe Corker was fucking them hard and on purpose with his statement because now if they don't open a new line people are gonna be pissed (though what'll they do about it? No union LOL)

would a southern, republican politician make up lies to destroy unions? i dunno, seems kinda far fetched? i mean, that would be pretty fucked up, right? im sure VW entrusted him with vital details about their long-term corporate strategy as a valued messenger for his constituents, and that he did his best, to serve them, with honor
lmao everything about this site is cool and good
embedding doesn't work, it's at 5:28, i'm ashamed
