There's Power In The Union

 The decision by autoworkers to unionize at Chattanooga's Volkswagen plant is a major development in labor relations. Now, as the link above kind of notes, Volkswagen actively supports unions. They were not the impediment, so much as the South's ingrained resistance to empowering its poorest citizens. Unionizing additional auto plants in the South will prove more difficult.

But maybe not impossible. There seems to be an important moment for unions in this country. After decades of rolling back union membership and watching the gains in the economy funneled up to the very top, workers are fed up.
