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.

Keep telling yourself this.

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

Your ignorance of labor law is showing. I've represented a ton of those auto part plants (the closing of Shreveport's GM plant cost me all of that local business). You can close your plant in the U.S. and move it to Mexico if it is the only one. You can close one plant and move it to Mexico if they cannot prove anti-union animus (e.g. a plant that is moved overseas and which has been unionized for ten years).

The parts plants are largely immune from ULP's anyway - they go wherever the plant is. If a US plant moves to Mexico, so are the parts plants. Easiest defense in the word (if the plants are union): We have to go wherever the plant is.

I hope VW closes the plant and moves the production out of the country.
