VW threatens to block any future expansion plans in the South, citing conservative interference

[Loki]

102. I was raised in a union family.

With a last name like Schroeder I was also very familiar with German engineering and we had GM cars, a VW beetle and my uncle loved to use a VW beetle to herd his cattle with (no joke). I grew up around VWs and in the 60's there were many fun time in the "hippie bus". I wrote a letter to VW corporate when the results of the vote came down and politely asked them to please consider this. They have a long and positive history with unions and workers in Germany and for that company to align itself with the anti-union Republican led states is like a slap in the face to pro labor families in this country. Look closely at why our south remains poor and you will find that the undermining of the union and the unequal relationship between the low paid workers and the corporate owners has decimated the middle class in this country. I will no longer purchase or recommend buying any VW product until I see these companies give the pro labor states and workers a chance to show just how good they can be for VW. When companies hear from us, maybe they listen. It's certainly worth the time and effort and I do it to honor my father and his union brothers and sisters.
