Opponents including a Tennessee U.S. senator are warning employees that voting for the United Auto Workers at a Volkswagen AG assembly plant in Chattanooga would bring the kind of economic malaise that crippled Detroit.
Balloting ends today for about 1,550 workers at the plant where Volkswagen managers pledged to stay neutral before the vote. Republican U.S. Senator Bob Corker this week stepped up his criticism by saying the UAW will destroy jobs while boosting its sagging ranks to collect dues from new members.
