Republican lawmakers in Tennessee are threatening to withhold tax incentives for a potential expansion of Volkswagen's automotive plant there if auto workers decide to join the United Auto Workers.
.
Fifteen hundred workers will vote Wednesday through Friday on whether to join the UAW, according to the Detroit Free Press.
.
But Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist and other lawmakers are trying to steer the auto workers from joining the union.
.
"It has been widely reported that Volkswagen has promoted a campaign that has been unfair, unbalanced and, quite frankly, un-American in the traditions of American labor campaigns," Tennessee State Sen. Bo Watson said in a statement according to the Free Press. "Should the workers choose to be represented by the United Auto Workers, then I believe additional incentives for expansion will have a very tough time passing the Tennessee Senate."

[Bozo - Tenn originally spent millions and gave up millions in tax revenue to lure Volkswagen to the state, competing with several other states. And in fact, based on what I've read earlier, it is the Volkswagen company that wants the workers to unionize based on success they have had with their unionized workers in other parts of the world, most notably, Germany.)
