Volkswagen expansion talks at standstill in Tenn.!
Labor representatives on Volkswagen's supervisory board were "indignant at the strong attempts made by outside forces to influence the outcome" of the vote, Bernd Osterloh, the head the company's global works council, said in a letter read to all the workers at the Chattanooga plant 10 days after the vote.
"Local Republican politicians such as Mr. Corker and Mr. Haslam interfered outrageously with the ballot," said Osterloh, who reiterated the company position that only economic factors would decide whether the plant would be expanded.
"We want you to see that people like Mr. Corker can have no influence over the decisions made by an international group," Osterloh added.
