So what? You think a company can't close a plant without the government's permission? Plants do it all the time.


If it is not a shutdown of all the plants in the US (assuming there is more than one VW plant), then the company would commit an unfair labor practice if it could be proven that they did so because of anti-union animus. If it is the only plant, they can do so, even if the closing is driven by anti-union animus.

You have the right to shut down your business (or your business in the US). But, you violate the NLRA if you close one plant because it voted to unionize.

Plants "close all the time.' Doing it because a plant voted in a union is not lawful.

Chattanooga is VW’s only plant in the US.

Keep telling yourself this.

All those auto parts manufacturing and final assembly plants in Mexico laugh at you.

Chattanooga is the only US VW plant. The last U.S. VW plant was in Pennsylvania and was UAW. It closed in the 80s.
