Volkswagen has included itself in a growing number of businesses and Republican legislators fighting against the union strategy of ‘splinter groups’. This approach involves organizing smaller groups of workers, as opposed to entire companies, in an effort way to boost union membership. Larger businesses are against these smaller groups, claiming the ‘micro-unions’ threaten divisiveness between employees in the workplace. Despite Volkswagen’s efforts, experts say it is unlikely that these splinter groups will be banned.
