Car Radio 910AM-Detroit: Podcast, April 23, 2024

Host: Henry Payne, Auto columnist, The Detroit News

Employees at Volkswagen’s Chattanooga assembly plant have voted to join the United Auto Workers. 910AM Car Radio host and Detroit News auto columnist Henry Payne talks about the consequences. The UAW could negotiate a contract that will make VW workers over $100,000. But those wages also threaten VW’s labor cost advantage over domestic rivals and could lead to job losses. The vote was also a win for the Democratic Party as the UAW, a staunch Party special interest, will donate millions in worker wages to its cause. 2 min. Original aired April 23, 2024 on the Auto Report, 910AM-Detroit WFDF
