“The United Auto Workers said Friday it is in talks with Volkswagen to unionize the German automaker’s US plant and grant workers there a seat on the global works council.  The UAW has been making a major push to organize foreign auto plants in recent years after seeing its membership levels depleted by mass layoffs at General Motors, Ford and Chrysler.  Virtually none of the plants operated by foreign automakers in the United States currently is unionized.  Many car factories — like VW’s Tennessee facility — are located in southern states which generally are not union-friendly.”
