For five decades, the southern United States has been an attractive location for foreign automakers to open plants thanks to generous tax breaks and cheaper, non-union labor.

The UAW's historic victory at Volkswagen's Chattanooga plant in Tennessee may be a turning point for unionization in the South.

New York (CNN) — Looming over the United Auto Workers strike: Automakers’ continued migration to the anti-union South.
