Union Bosses Use Card Check Scheme On VW

Recent media reports suggest that United Auto Workers (UAW) union officials are pushing Volkswagen (VW) to eliminate a secret ballot vote on unionization and instead unionize all workers in Chattanooga, Tennessee on the basis of an unreliable and abuse-prone “card check” process.

After UAW union officials claimed to receive a majority of workers signing union “cards,” UAW union president Bob King told Reuters that the VW employees should be put under union control through the card check, and that they should not vote in private because, he claimed, such a secret ballot vote would be “divisive.”
