Labor organizing in the south. : Consider This from NPR

The labor movement in the South is experiencing significant activity, with recent union victories at places like a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, where 73% of workers voted to join the UAW. However, union membership in the U.S. hit a record low of 10% in 2023, highlighting the ongoing challenges, particularly in Southern states with strong anti-union sentiments and right-to-work laws. Governors like South Carolina's Henry McMaster have openly opposed union efforts, reflecting a broader resistance to organized labor in the region.
