Southern Governors Express Concern Over Unionization Efforts Among Workers

Six Republican governors from the South expressed "high concern" about United Auto Workers' organizing campaigns in the region, particularly the upcoming union election at Volkswagen's Chattanooga plant. The governors accused the UAW of using "misinformation and scare tactics" and suggested that unionization could jeopardize jobs in their states. Despite opposition from politicians, union supporters are optimistic about the upcoming vote, while workers at the plant wish the politicians would stay out of the matter and let them vote freely.
