Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Foundation, issued the following statement in response to the recent media reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00abThis is a win for the workers of Volkswagen. The UAW did everything they could to silence opposition. First, Chattanooga VW employees managed to stave off a coercive unionization campaign even though the UAW and Volkswagen&#8217;s German management colluded for over two years to stack the deck against the workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abDespite all of this, UAW union officials&#8217; still lost the vote. The result of the election came after the NLRB unprecedentedly fast-tracked the unionization process, further tilting the playing field in favor of UAW union officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abSecond, the UAW attempted to exclude workers from protecting the outcome of the election. But, once UAW officials realized both sides of the case would be presented at the hearing, they withdrew rather than have their allegations disproved.  We are pleased that the workers&#8217; vote will now stand.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abThis case demonstrates once again the unreliability of union officials&#8217; &#8216;card check&#8217; method of unionization, as the UAW continued to claim on the basis of cards that it had the support of a majority of Volkswagen team members and that no election was needed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, Volkswagen employees filed a brief defending their right to have a say in the high-profile unionization dispute.<\/p>\n<p>National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys helped several VW workers file charges citing improprieties in the UAW union hierarchy&#8217;s unionization campaign, including getting workers to sign union authorization cards by coercion and misrepresentation and using cards signed too long ago to be legally valid. Some of those workers also filed a federal charge against the company stating that comments made by German VW officials illegally attempted to intimidate their fellow workers into accepting UAW monopoly bargaining power over their workplace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Springfield, VA (April 21, 2014)<\/b> \u2013 The United Auto Worker (UAW) union has withdrawn its challenge of the Chattanooga Volkswagen workers&#8217; recent unionization vote with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
