1969 VW Bug. I can only afford to fly or drive, I have driven all my life so flying my plane wins out and the Bug loses!!! Recent fenders/hood/windows removed Synthetic Eurothane paint. All window gaskets and windshield new, has the original flip out rear windows. Engine Completely rebuilt with German and Brazilian parts...No Chinese... with the exception of the rear bumber and look at the rust on it!!!. AH standard case, Cima Mauhl 88mm cylinders, Scatt C35 street cam, large SS valves, moderatly ported, Compufire Magnaspark in new Bosch 009 distributor, HD oil pump with oil filter, Sach clutch and pressureplate....Total Brakes and some lines...Much more but will let you know if you are interested. All grease and fluids synthetic with exception of engine, It does not have any miles on it yet, needs to go agout 2000 miles before changing to synthetic. Looks good, shifts good, tight steering and handling but just recently taken out of the garage and has yet to be driven on road. Before restoration was a daily driver for about 60 miles so set up for best road economy. I think the front is a dropped unit of 1 or 2 inches. It does have a couple little rust spots starting to pop out on fender. The mileage on speedometer is not original miles. This car should service you well for many years as EVERYTHING has been rebuilt or replaced. Am selling "as is, where is" and no return...prefere cash on pickup...hate to get rid of it so when it goes its gone!! Buyer will have to arrange shipping. Thanks for looking/bidding

UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
