For the past five decades, the southern United States has been a favored destination for foreign automakers looking to establish plants due to tax incentives and lower labor costs without union involvement.
Recently, the United Auto Workers (UAW) achieved a significant milestone by securing a resounding victory at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, Tennessee plant, with 73% of workers voting in favor of union representation. This win marks the UAW's first successful attempt to organize workers at a foreign car manufacturing facility in the South.
