Every union election is a contest between hope and fear—between hope for a better life in and out of the workplace and fear of the power of the powerful to punish workers for trying to make their hopes real. The fact that this time it was a senator, a governor and organized wealth doesn’t change that their message was fear and hopelessness, backed up by threats. In Chattanooga this week, the power of organized money was strong enough so that fear won a round. It’s not the first time that money and callous threats had a short-term victory, and it won’t be the last. But our labor movement and our country are built on the great truth that, in the end, hope is stronger than fear. And so our message from the 12.5 million women and men of the AFL-CIO to the women and men of Volkswagen is this: When you stand up for yourselves, you stand up for everyone who works and you will never be alone. We will be with Volkswagen workers—and workers across the South and the whole country—until they win the workplaces they, and all of us, deserve.
