SC Gov. Haley predicts workers at planned Volvo plant will drive UAW away

Fox News:

Volvo's choice of right-to-work state South Carolina for its $500 million assembly plant puts the Swedish car maker on a collision course with the United Auto Workers, but Gov. Nikki Haley predicts the union will be the latest labor organization to find itself unwelcome in the Palmetto State.

 

The company announced last week plans for its first facility in North America, a plant that will employ up to 2,000 workers and turn out 100,000 cars per year. Haley, an outspoken critic of unions, has made it clear the union is unwelcome, but United Auto Workers President Dennis Williams said his powerful organization will take its message straight to the workers at the plant, slated to open near Charleston in 2018.

 

“We believe that everybody should have the right to belong to a union regardless of the governor,” Williams said in a statement to FoxNews.com. “Regardless of several statements made by the governor, we will be in South Carolina. We have local unions there now.”
