"Southern Governors and Workers Clash Over UAW Unionization at Volkswagen Plant"
The governors of six Southern states issued a joint statement warning workers against joining the United Auto Workers (UAW) union, citing concerns about job security and values. The statement comes ahead of a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., voting on unionization. Democratic governors have been more supportive of the UAW's efforts, while the Republican governors expressed reservations about the union's intentions and mission, criticizing its endorsement of President Biden's reelection bid. The UAW did not provide a comment on the governors' letter, and the latest round of votes at the VW plant is expected to last three days with results anticipated on Friday.
