intimidation tactics backfired. anti-union sentiment could stop the company from opening new plants in the southern portion of the united states. i'm sure alabama and georgia are saying, thanks a lot, senator. i can imagine fairly well that another volkswagen factory in the united states, provided that one more shouldnc still be set there, does not necessarily have to be assigned to the south region again. here's the bottom line. volkswagen would be more likely to produce new cars in the united states if the plant were unionized. volkswagen went on to say, the conservatives stirred up massive anti-union sentiments. it's possible that the conclusion will be drawn that this interference amounted to unfair labor practice. that's german terminology for really getting in the way.
