Your First Post:

Once you have watched the video and read the article, consider the merit of the VW argument that a union should represent all the workers at a production facility before the company should be expected to work with the union. Do your own research to see whether or not VW’s argument at their Chattanooga plant is consistent with VW’s approach to unions elsewhere in the world, including at their plants in Germany. Be sure to provide citations for any sources.
