If you expect this week’s Tennessee General Assembly’s special session to review and approve incentives for the state’s recently announced Ford plant to get a little sticky, you’re not alone.
Consider these two headlines from the last two days:
“Tennessee lawmakers to consider $900 million package for Ford project.“
And, “Tennessee Republicans push to enshrine right-to-work laws as unions gain strength amid worker shortage.”
The timing is not coincidental. If you think it is, you’re forgetting the incredible brouhaha here some years ago when Volkswagen invited worker votes (unsuccessfully) to allow its employees to join the United Auto Workers.
