Why Tennessee Volkswagen Workers Voting to Unionize Is A Huge Victory for The South

Tennessee Volkswagen workers achieved a historic victory on April 19 by overwhelmingly voting to join the United Auto Workers (UAW) labor union. This victory marked the first time since 1941 that a nonunion automaker in the US has successfully unionized. Husayn Karimi, a labor organizer and labor journalist with On the Line, explains how this watershed moment will lead to a tidal wave of new organizing in the South and catapult the labor movement into a new era.

Good. Any success of any workers union is indirectly a success for all workers everywhere.

This is great news for organized labor throughout the nation and hopefully this victory at VW will spread like wild fire.

In my town, after the workers at the biggest manufacturer here voted to unionize, the company closed up, went to Mexico, and nobody had jobs. This was before Trump, who has shown with the Carrier incident that he would have stopped it.

It is incredible how education changes the ideology of southern people who have been taken advantage of for more than one hundred years. Those southern states like Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee, where European car manufacturers targeted states with citizens who had no idea of their worth as paid employees, have discovered their worth. It is still amazing how the 1979 movie "Norma Rae" was easily forgotten

so unions are a bad thing. it generally runs synonymous with antitrust violations. it's a distraction from antitrust violations thew workers unions care or are responsible for higher wages but it's actually antitrust doing it. and still so it inhibits job creations and still harms the workers. also other protections that normally would be resolved in court is gone, so it generally doesn't benefit the workers.

Big companies with huge profits always act like they're just living paycheck to paycheck especially when they talk to unions. But we don't have the money! Psshhh. 🤑 🤑 🤑.

Unions are probably necessary whenever people work for a company or corporation. I think we still need a leftist political movement that goes beyond good wages. I don't think unions can be that alone.
