Prospective union members remember this: the SPIT of unfair labour practices!

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 7 points 2 years ago

VW is odd since it is a German company and about as unionized as you can get.

[-] just2look@lemm.ee 26 points 2 years ago

VW factories in the US are not unionized.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 7 points 2 years ago

I know. That's why it's odd. VW should have no problem with a union.

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

I think you're confused. VW has unions in Germany because Germany actually cares about its citizens. They wouldn't have unions if you gave them the option.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

I've worked in Union houses in Germany and you're right.

It was a contingency when world war 2 ended that the boards in Germany be made in part of union members, it was a US idea

[-] colourednumbers@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

VW tried twice to unionize their US factory in Chattanooga. Both times the workers voted against unionisation. VW does a lot for unions and workers councils compared to other companies.

There's only like 3k of them...
