Tennessee VW workers want to unionize; VW is fine with that; Gov. Haslam isn't

[MurrayBannerman]

I love Haslam, but I don't agree with it. I don't really see the point either. Tennessee is a right to work state, in the south, and unions are practically dead. What's the point of making a stand on a plant level union?

If workers start to see union membership in their own interests, it repudiates a lot of Republican ideology and is a threat to the business interests they generally represent.

But Volkswagen is one of those business interests and that didn't stop Tennessee Republicans from more or less wreaking havoc on their preferred internal employee organization method.
