Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam has weighed in on reports that Volkswagen is talking with the United Auto Workers. Haslam says workers at the Chattanooga plant are happy without a union and that he would hate for anything to happen that could hurt the factory's productivity. The governor says Volkswagen puts a lot of focus on employee satisfaction, but that the decision to start a works council is ultimately up to the company and its three thousand employees. Formal talks with a union could begin as early as this summer.
