      If that’s your takeaway, you have zero knowledge of German automakers history with regard to labor in markets like the US.

        Well I guess you have zero knowledge of the unionization effort in Chattanooga. VW didn’t attempt to “bust” the unionization. How do I know? I know several employees of this very facility personally.

        Do you?

      Could be that they feared it spreading to other manufacturers, too and establishing a stronger union culture in the us?
